Audi / VW 1.8T 06A Manual Timing Belt Tensioner Kit BAR-TEK

BAR-TEK Manual Timing Belt Tensioner Kit – 1.8T 06A Engines

Upgrade your 1.8T 06A engine with this high-quality manual timing belt tensioner kit from BAR-TEK. Designed to replace the problematic OEM gas-charged tensioner, this setup ensures consistent and reliable belt tension, preventing pressure loss and premature belt wear.

This package also includes a GATES Racing Kevlar-reinforced timing belt, offering exceptional strength, heat resistance, and long-term durability — an ideal choice for tuned or high-load 1.8T applications.

The billet aluminum idler bracket improves belt wrap around the crank pulley, reducing stress on the timing belt and increasing reliability for performance or high-mileage engines.

Features

• OEM timing belt roller
• Timing roller mounting hardware
• Manual timing belt tensioner
• High-strength 4140 steel tensioner stud + hardware

Note: Fits late 06A 1.8T engines only. These are block-specific components – all 058 and 06A 1.8T heads share the same tensioner mounting pattern.
