URO 996 105 180 58 Intermediate Shaft Timing Chain Tensioner for Porsche M96 Engine

The URO 996 105 180 58 is a replacement timing chain tensioner designed for the intermediate shaft (IMS) on Porsche M96 flat-six engines. The timing chain tensioner is a critical component that maintains proper tension on the timing chain connecting the crankshaft to the intermediate shaft — and a worn or failed tensioner is a common source of cold-start engine noise and chain slap in these engines.

URO Parts manufactures this tensioner to OEM specifications as a cost-effective alternative to the Porsche Genuine part, sharing the same form, fit, and function. This is a commonly replaced maintenance and repair item on water-cooled Porsche flat-six platforms.

Key Features:

• Replaces OEM Porsche timing chain tensioner for the intermediate shaft
• Designed to OEM specifications for proper fit and function
• Addresses cold-start timing chain noise caused by a worn tensioner
• Manufactured by URO Parts as an OEM-equivalent replacement
