Womala Camshaft Intake Gear Oe LR050849 for Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

Product Overview

The Intake Camshaft Sprocket LR050849 (also referenced as LR095897) is a Genuine OE-grade variable valve timing (VVT) component engineered for the 2.0L GTDI / EcoBoost petrol engine in select for Land Rover and for Jaguar vehicles. This intake-side sprocket, also known as a camshaft phaser or VCT actuator, uses hydraulic oil pressure to advance or retard intake valve timing, optimising engine performance, fuel economy, and emissions across the RPM range .

LR050849 is the improved part number introduced to address a known failure on earlier versions. Land Rover Technical Service Message SSM69738 confirms that early camshaft sprockets could suffer broken locating pins, and LR050849 features new pin material and machining changes to eliminate this issue .

⚠️ Important: This is the intake side VVT sprocket for the 2.0L petrol engine only. It is not compatible with diesel or other engine variants. VIN cut-off applies — the improved LR050849 is required for vehicles produced after the VINs listed below .

Key Features

• Intake camshaft VVT actuator – hydraulically adjusts intake valve timing based on engine load and speed 

• 40-tooth design – precision-machined sprocket for accurate timing chain engagement 

• Improved pin material – LR050849 supersedes earlier versions with strengthened locating pin to prevent failure 

• OE-grade quality – available as Genuine Land Rover, Febi Bilstein, SWAG, and other quality alternatives 

• Covers multiple models – fits Freelander 2, Evoque, Discovery Sport, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and select Jaguar models 

OE Cross-Reference

💡 Supersession Note: LR050849 is the improved replacement for LR024999, LR083920, and LR085467. LR095897 is the current latest supersession. All part numbers listed above refer to the same intake camshaft VVT sprocket .

VIN Cut-off Notes (SSM69738):

• Freelander 2 / LR2: Improved part from VIN 375956 

• Range Rover Evoque: Improved part from VIN 840665 

⚠️ Important: Vehicles produced before the VIN cut-offs above may have the earlier sprocket with the pin failure risk. Confirm your VIN to determine whether the improved LR050849 is required .

Signs of Failure

• Rattle or knocking noise – from the front of the engine, especially on cold start; identified in AERA Technical Bulletin for 2012–2015 Land Rover 2.0L engines as a symptom of inoperative intake VCT actuator 

• Broken locating pin – confirmed failure mode addressed by SSM69738 

• Check engine light – VVT-related diagnostic trouble codes

• Reduced engine performance – poor acceleration or hesitation

• Poor fuel economy – incorrect valve timing affecting combustion efficiency 

💡 Diagnostic Note (AERA TB): With the camshaft cover removed, check if the plug on the VCT actuator is missing. If present, fully rotate the camshaft counter-clockwise, then attempt clockwise rotation. If the camshaft rotates freely in both directions, the VCT actuator is not functioning and requires replacement with LR050849 .

Critical – Verify Your VIN Before Ordering

Camshaft sprockets are VIN-, engine-, and production-specific. VIN cut-offs apply (Freelander 2: 375956; Evoque: 840665) — confirm your vehicle requires the improved LR050849 . Provide your VIN – our team confirms exact compatibility before dispatch. We cannot accept returns for misordered parts without VIN verification.

💡 Installation Tip: Professional installation required — precise timing alignment is essential. The sprocket is located within the timing chain system; replacement requires removal of the timing cover and use of specialised timing tools . The camshaft sprocket bolts are typically single-use (torque-to-yield) and must be replaced . It is strongly recommended to inspect the timing chain, tensioner, and guides for wear during this service.
