50007020 Kolbenschmidt CAMSHAFT AUDI / VW

Basically, the camshaft controls when your engine's valves open and close. It has these lobes, see, and as it spins – driven by the timing belt or chain – those lobes push on the valves. It precisely manages the intake of air and fuel, and the exhaust of gases. It’s a pretty intricate dance, timing everything perfectly for each cylinder to fire. It’s not just opening and closing, it controls how much and when, influencing power and efficiency. Think of it as the brain behind the engine's breathing. The crankshaft creates the power, but the camshaft directs how that power is used by controlling the airflow. It's absolutely fundamental to the engine running smoothly, and achieving the right amount of power. It works closely with the crankshaft, pistons, and valves – they’re all a team. It’s pretty central to everything going on inside your engine. If the camshaft wears out or gets damaged, things quickly fall apart. You’ll notice if it's going bad because you’ll get misfires, rough idling, loss of power, and potentially even engine failure. It's one of those parts that doesn’t give a lot of warning before it fails completely. A good camshaft keeps everything running efficiently and reliably. They don’t last forever, of course, especially with higher mileage. We carry a range of them at Fixparts Online, both OEM and aftermarket options, depending on what you’re looking for and your budget. It’s something you really don’t want to skimp on, since it’s so critical to how the engine operates. Think of it like a shield protecting the engine’s internal workings – if that shield fails, the engine is vulnerable. We’re here to help: Camshaft Audi/VW (MPN 50007020) has a 12-month warranty!
