legvw 0 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Its a cam sprocket, but it looks like the center is missing, i think. It should look like the other 1.There are a few people breaking vr engine parts on the forum, worth a look. And if no-one comes up trumps with the bolts, vw or tps maybe your best bet.
