VW Audi 1.9 TDI PD Camshaft Kit

Please note: This VW 1.9 & 2.0 TDI camshaft kit is for 8-valve engines ONLY! Regardless of which option you choose it will not fit 16-valve engines.

In the main picture you can see the German option without vacuum pump and valve cover gaskets.

Complete Camshaft Repair Kit includes:

• 1 × Selected camshaft (see options below)
• 1 set (8 pcs) Black hardened hydraulic followers (56–62 HRC, made by GT Automotive)
• Kolbenschmidt camshaft shell bearings (OEM)
• Elring Teflon cam end seal (OEM)
• 10 × brand-new camshaft cap stretch bolts
• 4 × injector stretch bolts
• 8 × rocker bolts

Important: This kit must be fitted by a qualified mechanic who knows how to correctly prime hydraulic lifters. Incorrect installation or ignoring underlying engine issues will lead to failure. We do not accept returns for incorrectly installed kits.

About the Camshafts

These are new induction-hardened camshafts — not regrinds of used OEM cams. They have deeper hardened layers than OEM for unrivaled wear resistance. Optimized lobe geometry reduces valvetrain stresses that cause premature wear in PD engines.

Camshaft Options

We offer two different camshafts. Find your engine code and select accordingly:

Options Explained

Nitrided bundle (German, HEwerk): forged steel camshaft nitrided for durability (dark grey/black color).
British (ESTAS via GT Automotive UK): available as 038109101R chilled cast or 038109101AH billet forged steel. Not interchangeable — match your old camshaft part number.

Optional Gaskets

Vacuum pump gasket: should always be replaced with camshaft (OEM AJUSA).
Camshaft cover gasket: replaces leaking rocker/valve cover gasket (OEM Elring).

Common Problems

DIY roadside replacements often fail prematurely. Issues include:

PD Injector Wear

Injector Bore Wear in Cylinder Head

Other Failures

• FAI camshaft lobe wear due to poor injector sealing (we do not sell FAI cams)
• Wear on hardened black INA lifters

All these failures come down to improper installation or ignored injector/head issues.
