• Upper cover?  No, they are different due to the additional timing belt roller that the AHU sports between the pump and cam.

• With the extra piece would it work if you had the same backing piece?

• The AHU cover and backing plate will work on an AAZ, but not the other way around.  The AAZ cover will interfere with the roller on a AHU.

• Ok. Thanks for the info. I'm looking for a non-cracked upper timing cover with the retaining bolt? for my AAZ.

  That sounds reasonable. Thanks. I didn't expect to be able to go to a dealer for parts for this engine. Am I wrong?

  What vehicle do I use to search for my engine?

  This place only lets me search by vehicle year and make and doesn't give me the option to select an engine type - it auto fills results for a gas engine.  It must work. LibbyD was able to search the timing cover.

• perhaps by p/n??

• I just noticed these guys are about 45 minutes from me. I'll call them Monday. Is 1stvw where I should get my parts then?

• 1stvwparts is a dealership backdoor site.  The part # for the cover is 028109127J.  You're going to want to acquire a copy of ETKA or use Vag-cat or similar for part#s.

  Excellent. Thanks. Any suggestions on where I might use/share/obtain a free copy ETKA or Vag-cat?
