INA US Engine Valve Lifter P/N:VT0043

Take up valve lash automatically and keep the valve train working quietly with the INA US Engine Valve Lifter VT0043, a hydraulic tappet (INA's VTC hydraulic pivot element) that transfers cam-lobe motion to the valve train and uses engine oil pressure to self-adjust clearance. It is cataloged as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 1992-1994 Audi 100 and 100 Quattro (V6-2.8L), 1995 Audi A6 and 1995-1998 Audi A6 Quattro (V6-2.8L), plus the 1998-2003 Volkswagen Beetle, 1999-2004 Volkswagen Golf, and 1999-2004 Volkswagen Jetta (L4-1.9L).

• Hydraulic self-adjustment: uses engine oil pressure to maintain proper valve clearance as the cam lobe drives the valve train.
• Built for modern demands: a high-quality valve train component made to handle the hotter temperatures and higher pressures of increasingly smaller engines.
• Service-life focus: designed to meet growing demands on the combustion process and help increase engine service life.

Quantity varies by engine: the Audi V6-2.8L applications use 12 per engine and the Volkswagen L4-1.9L applications use 8, so order the count your engine requires (minimum order quantity is 8). A persistent ticking or tapping from the valve train is a common sign that hydraulic lifters may need replacing. Country of origin: Germany. Manufacturer part number VT0043.
