Keep valve lash automatically adjusted with the INA US Engine Valve Lifter VT0043, an INA VTC hydraulic pivot element (also cataloged as a tappet). It drops in as a direct-fit replacement on many vehicles, among them the 1999-2004 Volkswagen Jetta 1.9L, 1999-2004 Volkswagen Golf 1.9L and 1998-2003 Volkswagen Beetle 1.9L; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

A hydraulic valve lifter uses pressurized engine oil to take up clearance in the valvetrain and maintain zero lash as parts heat up and wear. If a worn or noisy lifter is behind a ticking or tapping sound from the top of the engine, replacing it addresses the cause.

• Hydraulic self-adjusting design: maintains valve lash automatically using engine oil pressure.
• Built for demanding conditions: engineered to handle the hotter temperatures and higher pressures of increasingly smaller engines and help support engine service life.
• Quantity varies by application: L4-1.9L engines use 8 and V6-2.8L engines use 12. Order the correct count for your engine.
• Country of origin: Germany.
