Genuine VAG Camshaft Adjuster Magnet – 06L109259D
The camshaft adjuster magnet (also known as a Variable Valve Timing solenoid) is a small but vital part of your engine’s valve timing system. It controls the flow of oil to the camshaft adjuster, which in turn alters when the intake and exhaust valves open and close. This helps the engine run smoothly, efficiently and with the right balance of power and economy across the rev range.
This is a genuine Volkswagen Audi Group part, supplied directly through official channels, so you can be confident in the quality, fit and reliability.
Common Signs of Failure
When a camshaft adjuster magnet starts to fail, you will often notice symptoms before a fault code appears. Typical early warning signs include:
- Lumpy, uneven or sporadic idle
- Misfires under load or at low revs
- Reduced throttle response
- Engine warning light with VVT or camshaft position related fault codes
Replacing the solenoid usually resolves these issues quickly and restores normal running.
Important Fitment Note
Most affected engines use two of these magnets per vehicle (one for the intake camshaft and one for the exhaust camshaft). It is good practice to replace both at the same time, as they typically wear at a similar rate.

Why Choose Genuine
Variable valve timing systems rely on precise oil control and consistent magnetic response. Genuine parts are built to the original specification, helping avoid the repeat failures and inconsistent running that can occur with lower quality alternatives. For a component this central to smooth engine operation, fitting the correct genuine part is the sensible choice.
