OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi WHT-000-124 is an individual flat washer used at the assigned engine timing-system location. It supplies the original specified component when the washer is missing or damaged during service on the confirmed engine arrangements below.
Technical details and what is included
- Factory part number: WHT-000-124 / WHT000124.
- Component: timing-system flat washer.
- Factory nominal designation: 18 × 50 × 2.23 mm.
- Quantity supplied: one individual washer.
- The archive photo shows the flat disc profile and central opening.
- On the confirmed S4 engine arrangement, the original catalog identifies the lower-center washer location.
Match the exact engine and factory mounting point. A neighboring thrust washer, guide pin or spacer is a separate component with its own part number. The nominal designation must not be treated as a universal fitment rule or as a shipping-package measurement.
Common reasons to replace
- The original washer is missing during timing-system assembly.
- Disassembly damage prevents correct seating at the assigned location.
- Inspection identifies deformation or damage to the washer surface.
- The factory repair procedure requires replacement of the assigned component.
Inspect the mating surfaces and associated timing components before installing a replacement. Damage to another component or an incorrect assembly arrangement requires separate repair. Replacing this washer alone does not diagnose timing-chain wear, a correlation fault or an engine noise.

Installation and service guidance
Follow the factory timing-system procedure for the exact engine. Complete the prescribed preparation, engine-position and locking steps before disturbing related components.
Identify the original washer location and orientation. Inspect the washer seating surfaces and replace other damaged or separately specified components as required. Do not substitute a generic washer or a neighboring thrust washer based only on appearance.
Follow the required assembly sequence, fastener renewal and tightening specifications. Complete all prescribed component-position and timing checks before operation; the washer does not establish correct engine timing by itself.
This listing supplies one flat washer. Timing chains, guides, tensioners, thrust washers, fasteners and other engine components are separate.
