• Position on Vehicle: Mounted adjacent to the front disc brake pads, typically clipped into the caliper or pad backing plate with the sensor end extending to contact the rotor or matching pad drain hole.
• Applications: Ideal when the original wear sensor has failed, is missing, or during brake pad replacement to ensure the wear-warning circuit remains intact and fully functional.
The brake pad wear sensor is a small yet essential part of your vehicle’s safety system. When it fails or is removed, your brake pad wear monitoring may become inactive - leading to unnoticed pad depletion, increased rotor wear or even unscheduled brake failure. Replacing it ensures that when your pads reach their safe limit, you’ll receive an accurate alert and can service your brakes in time.
When and why to replace:
• The brake pad wear warning light is showing, indicating the sensor circuit has been triggered or failed.
• The sensor wiring is damaged, corroded, or the sensor itself is missing or reused excessively.
• During brake pad replacement - fitting a new sensor ensures the system remains fully functional.
• After any caliper or brake overhaul where the original sensor connection might have been disturbed.
• When using non-standard or aggressive brake pads, where ensuring the warning circuit works is particularly important.

The camshaft timing chain is a critical engine component that maintains precise timing between the crankshaft and camshaft(s). This timing governs when the engine’s intake and exhaust valves open and close relative to piston position - a key factor in efficient combustion, engine power, emissions, and overall drivability. The chain connects the rotating crankshaft to the camshafts so that valve timing is mechanically linked and constant.
Function:
• Synchronises engine timing: Maintains crankshaft-to-camshaft rotation alignment
• Supports combustion efficiency: Ensures accurate valve events for intake and exhaust strokes
• Transfers mechanical drive: From crankshaft to camshaft drive mechanisms
• Withstands high loads: Engine torque and RPM forces over long service life.
Unlike timing belts, timing chains are metal-to-metal and designed for durability, although they can stretch or wear with high mileage or inadequate lubrication.
The timing chain is at the heart of the engine’s mechanical timing system. While chains are generally long-lasting, wear can occur due to mileage, heat cycling, lubrication contamination, or slack from chain stretch. A worn or stretched timing chain can lead to:
• Incorrect valve timing
• Engine noise (rattle at startup or idle)
• Reduced power and efficiency Irregular idle and misfires
• Potential catastrophic engine damage if timing deviates too far.
Replacing a worn chain with an OE Match unit restores correct timing precision and helps protect major internal engine components.
When to replace. Install a new timing chain when:
• There is timing chain noise (rattling) at startup or idle
• Chain tensioner or guides are being replaced
• Engine has high mileage with original timing components
• You are performing engine rebuild, top-end service, or head removal
• Diagnostic codes indicate timing inconsistencies

Ideal replacement when the original pulley shows signs of wear, bearing noise, belt misalignment or visible belt damage - restoring accessory-drive reliability and avoiding secondary damage from belt failure.
The idler pulley plays a critical role in your accessory belt drive, maintaining the correct path and tension of the belt that powers many engine-mounted systems. When the pulley bearing deteriorates, or the surface becomes worn or grooved, the belt can slip, make noise, or even break—potentially causing loss of alternator, AC compressor or power-steering function. By replacing this component proactively with a quality OE-Match unit, you safeguard those systems and maintain proper engine accessory operation.
When and why to replace:
• Audible bearing noise or rumble coming from the pulley/belt area.
• Visible belt wear, glazing, fraying or mis-tracking across the pulley surface.
• Occasional belt slippage or accessory drive belt squeal on start-up or load.
• Accessory drive servicing (belt replacement, tensioner replacement) where it makes sense to fit the pulley at the same time.
• Higher-mileage vehicle where original pulley may have been in service for many years and bears may be near end-of-life.

This Air/Oil Separator product ref 996.107.023.55 also includes the rubber below 996.107.237.52 and jubilee clip 999.512.551.01
The AOS is basically a small diaphragm distillery which distills the minute amounts of oil mist in the crankcase, liquifies it and sends it back to the crankcase. The "clean" air is now sent into the air intake (after the throttle body) to be burned off by the engine.
When the AOS starts to fail it cannot separate all of the oil out of the mist and some liquid oil is sent to the air intake.
A few drops of oil is enough to generate the GREAT SMOKE BOMB for which our cars are famous for.
A big smoke bomb once in a while is completely normal, due to the architecture of the flat-6 engine, which may let a drop of oil flow into one of the combustion chambers sporadically.
