also you'll need the following parts

1 - 021 109 503 D - Upper Timing Chain

2 - 071 109 513 - Upper Timing Chain Guide Rail

3 - 021 109 509 E - Upper Timing Chain Tensioner Rail

4 - 021 109 507 B - Upper Timing Chain Tensioner Bolt (comes with copper crush washer N 013 827 1)

5 - 021 109 465 B - Lower Timing Chain

6 - 021 109 469 - Lower Timing Chain Guide Rail

7 - 021 109 467 - Lower Timing Chain Tensioner Rail

8 - 068 198 171 - Rear Main Oil Seal
