🔧 Is INA the OE Supplier for VW/Audi Cam Magnets?
Yes — and here’s why it matters.
Most owners are surprised to learn that the Cam Magnets on the Golf MK7 R and Audi S3 8V are supplied directly by INA, the same manufacturer Volkswagen Group trusts at the factory. INA isn’t just an aftermarket brand — they are a core OEM supplier behind many VAG engine components, known for precision, durability, and long-term reliability.
Using original INA cam magnets ensures your engine’s variable valve timing system operates exactly as intended. This helps maintain smooth performance, efficient power delivery, and reduced wear on timing components.

🔍 When do cam magnets need replacing?
Cam magnets play a crucial role in controlling camshaft adjustment. When they begin to fail, the symptoms are usually noticeable:
-
Rough or unstable idling
-
Engine warning lights (often related to timing or camshaft position)
-
Intermittent misfires
-
Hesitation or inconsistent power delivery
-
Reduced fuel efficiency
If you’re experiencing any of the above, a worn cam magnet may be the cause — and replacing them early can prevent further issues within the VVT system.
Whether you're maintaining your MK7 R, S3 8V, or any VAG performance model, sticking with INA OE-spec parts keeps your car running exactly as the engineers intended.
