Womala Camshaft Adjuster Intake LR050849 for Land Rover L550 L359 L538 L405 L494 Jaguar XF XJ

Product Details: Camshaft Adjuster (Intake) - LR050849

This is a genuine-equivalent camshaft adjuster, also known as a Variable Valve Timing (VVT) sprocket or camshaft phaser. It is a critical component of the engine's timing system, designed for the intake camshaft on 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engines. This component allows the Engine Control Unit (ECU) to dynamically alter valve timing for optimized performance, fuel economy, and emissions across the rev range.

Core Function: The adjuster uses engine oil pressure to advance or retard the camshaft timing relative to the crankshaft. At low speeds, it advances timing to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. At high speeds, it retards timing to boost power output. A failed adjuster can lead to poor performance, rattling noises, and potential engine damage if not addressed promptly.

Replacement Part Numbers

Failure Symptoms:

• Rattling or knocking noise from the timing chain area, especially on cold start
• Engine misfires, rough idle, or hesitation during acceleration
• Illuminated Check Engine Light with VVT-related trouble codes
• Reduced fuel economy and engine performance
• Engine stalling or failure to start in severe cases

Installation Notes:

This component is located within the timing chain system. Replacement requires removal of the timing cover and proper timing alignment. It is strongly recommended to replace timing chain tensioners, guides, and bolts simultaneously due to the labor-intensive nature of the repair. The camshaft adjuster bolts are typically one-time-use and must be replaced. Professional installation with specialized timing tools is essential.

Note: This part is designed for the intake camshaft position. Verify compatibility using your vehicle's VIN number and engine code (specifically the 2.0L GTDI / Ecoboost petrol variant) before purchasing, as diesel engines and other displacement variants use different timing components. Professional installation is highly recommended.

A: Signs of a failing bumper bracket include visible damage or deformation, misaligned bumper panels, unusual noises from the front end, or if the bumper appears loose or sagging on one side.

A: For optimal results, we recommend professional installation. Key considerations include ensuring proper alignment of all mounting points, checking for additional damaged components, and verifying all fasteners are properly torqued to specification.
