TC0160FK and TC9600K have really taken off since launch this year and will continue to grow because of the popularity of their applications. 

TC0160FK – fits the 2.0TDi set of engines fitted to amongst other vehicles the Audi A4 and A6.  It is recommended when changing the Oil Pump (LP1036) that the chain and sprockets are changed at the same time to ensure smooth running but also to prevent any damage to the new Oil Pump from worn chain components.

TC9600K – fits the popular 1.2L CBZA and CBZB set of VAG engines. The initial design of the timing chain was poor with the links wearing quickly leading to the chain stretching.  This stretch leads to a ticking noise when the engine is started – this tends to go away after a few seconds but does signify a problem with the timing chain.  The timing is then set incorrectly which leads to errors coming up on the PCM including camshaft and crankshaft position sensor codes.  BGA would always recommend changing the chain, tensioner and guides in this instance before any other damage can be done to the engine.
