Title: what camshaft is this?
Post by: bearproof dave on 07 December 2011, 18:04

the cam has the following numbers engraved-
026
W20
2351

the pulley that was attached has the following numbers-
049 109 111 B
SSF

hoping its from a mk2 gti digi and will be suitable for my f reg 1.8 GL which i am assuming has hydraulic tappets?

cheers, dave

The pully number seems to be a generic mk2/3 44t pully. As for the shaft... no idea  :laugh:

There must be some more numbers on the shaft no?

not had a chance to check for more numbers yet, however i have just seen a mk3 gti cam on ebay and the part number stated is
049 109 111C

the number on mine is 049 109 111B

im thinking mine could indeed be a late gti cam?

From what I can figure out, A and B go together on a DOHC and C is a single cam. This doesn't actually confirm anything, thats if its even correct but It would indicate that the cam you have is from an 8v

i read somewhere that a hydraulic cam base circle should measure 34mm. not sure if that applies to gti or standard though?
not sure exactly what the cam base circle is meant to be. i measured it up today and found that the lobes measure 34mm accross the width.
whats reckon?
im thinking of fitting it anyway and seeing what happens? once ive got the 2 cams side by side i should be able to see if one is noticably different?

just google'd cam base circle and it appears ive measured the correct bit (round protion of cam lobe).
looks like its worth giving it a try

cheers for your help sam

Help? I have merely added to the confusion. TBH its worth fitting anyhow, as long as you get the timing correct its not gonna destroy anything. Come to think of it, arent 8vs non-interference anyhow?
