Timing Chain for Audi A4: Chromed Steel
This timing chain for the Audi A4 is specified around chromed steel, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is documentation that arrived after the container shipped, or reorders that did not match the approved sample. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Fitment notes
Keep the old part until the new one is on the bench. Comparing them side by side settles questions a photograph never will.

Questions buyers ask
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 10 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 200 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Tell us the model, the fitment and the quantity and we will hold a production slot for you.
