INA VT0022 Hydraulic Valve Lifter

The INA VT0022 is a precision-engineered hydraulic valve lifter designed as an OE-quality replacement for Audi and Volkswagen engines. This hydraulic flat tappet lifter rides along the camshaft lobes in the cylinder head to actuate the rocker arms, controlling the opening and closing of engine intake and exhaust valves with precision timing.

Key Features:

• Hydraulic flat tappet design maintains consistent contact with camshaft lobes and rocker arms
• Pressurized with engine oil to cushion movement and reduce valvetrain noise
• OE-style replacement manufactured to factory specifications
• Maintains proper valve lash condition to prevent excessive valvetrain wear
• Replaces INA part number 4200022100 and multiple OEM numbers including 034109309AD, 034109309N, 074109309, and others
• Used on both intake and exhaust camshafts
• Sold individually

This lifter is designed to replace worn or faulty hydraulic lifters that are no longer holding oil pressure properly, which can cause characteristic tapping or clacking sounds from the cylinder heads. If left unaddressed, worn lifters can lead to damaged rocker arms or premature camshaft lobe wear. Manufactured by INA, part of the Schaeffler Group, this component meets strict OE quality standards for reliable performance and long service life.
