Cloyes 9-5699 Engine Timing Chain Tensioner

Cloyes Timing Chain Tensioner 9-5699

The Cloyes 9-5699 timing chain tensioner helps maintain proper chain tension in Volkswagen and Audi timing systems. Built with an aluminum housing and a hydraulic-and-spring tensioner design, it supports consistent timing chain control for a range of 2.0T applications.

Cloyes has focused on timing system components since 1921, and the Timing Chain Tensioner line is built for service work where accurate chain tension matters. For total timing system integrity, Cloyes recommends replacing the chain, tensioners, guides, and sprockets together during timing service.
