OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi WHT-007-568 is an individual sealing ring used at the assigned camshaft-adjuster cover arrangement. It renews the specified cover seal when the original ring is damaged or removed during service on the confirmed engine configuration below.
Technical details and what is included
- Factory part number: WHT-007-568 / WHT007568.
- Component: camshaft-adjuster cover O-ring.
- Factory nominal sealing-ring designation: 69.4 × 3.1 mm.
- Quantity supplied: one individual sealing ring.
- Application depends on the installed camshaft adjuster, cover and original ring assignment.
- The original archive photo shows the individual large-diameter ring.
Match the exact cover and adjuster arrangement before ordering. The camshaft system includes separately specified covers, threaded plugs, seals and fastening hardware. This ring must not be selected solely by its diameter or treated as a replacement for every seal on the cylinder head.
Common reasons to replace
- The original cover seal is damaged during removal.
- A cut, pinched or deformed ring will not seat correctly.
- Inspection identifies deterioration at the assigned cover joint.
- Oil leakage is traced to that sealing location.
- The factory service procedure calls for a new ring when the cover is opened.
Inspect the cover, sealing groove and mating surface before replacing the ring. A damaged cover, distorted seating surface or another leaking joint requires its own repair. A new O-ring alone does not diagnose a camshaft-adjustment fault or correct an internal timing problem.
Vehicle fitment
This profile requires the specified CZTA engine and its original cover-sealing arrangement. Confirm the installed adjuster and cover numbers, particularly after an engine or camshaft-component replacement.
| Vehicle | Model years | Engine | Configuration | Application restrictions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Volkswagen Jetta | 2016–2018 | 1.4L TSI gasoline inline-four; CZTA | Mk6 sedan; front-wheel drive; non-hybrid; Original factory drivetrain; CZTA engine and installed adjuster cover determine fitment | Original camshaft-adjuster cover/end-cap sealing arrangement assigned WHT007568. Confirm installed adjuster and cover part numbers before ordering; hybrid and other engine profiles require separate verification. |
| Volkswagen Jetta | 2019–2021 | 1.4L TSI gasoline inline-four; DGXA | Mk7 sedan; FWD; non-hybrid; excludes GLI; Factory manual or automatic; original DGXA adjuster-cover arrangement determines fitment | Original camshaft-adjuster cover/end-cap O-ring assigned WHT007568. Match installed adjuster and cover. One ring supplied; cap, timing belt, tensioner and water pump are separate. |
| Volkswagen Golf | 2019–2021 | 1.4L TSI gasoline inline-four; DGXA | Mk7.5 hatchback; FWD; excludes GTI, Golf R and SportWagen; Factory manual or automatic; original DGXA adjuster-cover arrangement determines fitment | Original camshaft-adjuster cover/end-cap O-ring assigned WHT007568. Match installed adjuster and cover. One ring supplied; cap, timing belt, tensioner and water pump are separate. |
Installation and service guidance
Use the factory procedure for the exact engine and cover. Complete the prescribed engine preparation and identify the assigned sealing location before removing any camshaft-system components.
Remove the old ring without damaging the groove. Inspect and clean the sealing surfaces using the approved method, then use the prescribed assembly lubrication where required. Seat the ring without twisting, stretching or pinching it.
Follow the repair information for cover orientation, fastening sequence, torque and renewal of neighboring hardware. If the work involves timing components, complete the required timing and component-position checks using the prescribed tools.
After assembly, perform the required inspection and leak checks. This listing supplies one sealing ring; the cover, camshaft adjuster, timing components, screws and oil are separate.
