OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi WHT-005-189 is an individual timing-system bolt with the guide sleeve shown in the original archive photo. It supplies the specifically assigned service hardware for the confirmed diesel timing-system arrangements listed below.
Technical details and what is included
- Factory part number: WHT-005-189 / WHT005189.
- Component: timing-system bolt with guide sleeve.
- Quantity supplied: one individual bolt-and-sleeve component.
- The original photograph shows the threaded end, socket-drive head and cylindrical guide sleeve.
- Original application: assigned chain/guide arrangement on the stated 3.0L TDI engine configurations.
Match the exact engine code and original timing-system mounting point. Neighboring guide pins, spacer bushes, tensioners and fastening screws are separate parts. A similar-looking bolt without the assigned sleeve geometry must not be selected as a substitute solely by diameter.
Common reasons to replace
- The assigned bolt or sleeve is missing during timing-system assembly.
- The drive recess or threads are damaged during removal.
- Inspection finds damage to the sleeve or its seating surfaces.
- The factory timing-system repair procedure specifies replacement of this component.
Inspect the mating mounting point and associated timing components before installation. Damage to a guide, tensioner or seating feature requires separate repair. Replacing this bolt alone does not correct chain wear, a camshaft-correlation fault or an incorrectly timed engine.
Vehicle fitment
The profiles below require the specified diesel engine and original mounting location assigned WHT005189. Verify the installed engine and timing-system parts, especially after an engine replacement or previous timing repair.
| Vehicle | Model years | Engine | Configuration | Application restrictions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Audi A7 | 2014 | 3.0L TDI diesel V6; PR-TH1 | 4G Sportback; quattro; Original factory diesel drivetrain | Original timing-system bolt with guide sleeve assigned WHT005189 at the factory chain/guide arrangement. Confirm engine code and exact mounting point before ordering. Other engine and timing fasteners are separate. |
| Volkswagen Touareg | 2013 | 3.0L TDI diesel V6; PR-TH1 | 7P SUV; all-wheel drive; Original factory diesel drivetrain | Original timing-system bolt with guide sleeve assigned WHT005189 at the factory chain/guide arrangement. Confirm engine code and exact mounting point before ordering. Other engine and timing fasteners are separate. |
| Audi Q5 | 2015 | 3.0L TDI diesel V6; CPNB | 8R SUV; quattro; Original factory diesel drivetrain | Original timing-system bolt with guide sleeve assigned WHT005189 at the factory chain/guide arrangement. Confirm engine code and exact mounting point before ordering. Other engine and timing fasteners are separate. |
Installation and service guidance
Use the factory timing-system procedure for the exact engine. Complete all prescribed engine-position, access and locking steps before disturbing timing hardware.
Verify the correct bolt location and sleeve orientation. Inspect the mating threads, sleeve and seating surfaces, then install the component using the specified tools and assembly method. Do not force the component into a damaged or incorrect mounting point.
Follow the factory tightening sequence and torque requirements, including renewal of other specified hardware. Use the prescribed timing checks and component-position checks rather than relying on generic alignment marks or an estimated tightening force.
Complete the required inspection before starting the engine. This listing supplies the individual bolt with guide sleeve; timing chains, guides, tensioners, spacer bushes and other fasteners are separate.
