NOTE: There is a VIN split for one of the Cam Chain Tensioner Guides included in this kit. The split has to do with the design of one of the oil orifices on the back of the motor. Most 2004 B6-S4s and a small number of 2005 B6-S4s had an EARLY version of this part. You must check your VIN to be sure. Vehicles with VIN up to 4 200 000 will require an EARLY version of this Guide. Vehicles with VIN from 4 200 001 on will require the LATE version of this guide. B7-S4s all had the LATE version. Please confirm your VIN and select the version you need from the drop-down below.

First let me say that JH Motorsports has in no way given me ANY compensation AT ALL. I paid for everything I received from them.
Second, I am quite happy with what my money purchased me.
Third, I think that JHM has done a great service to all Audi v8 owners by not just engineering and making available upgraded mechanical camshaft adjusters (camshaft phaser to Americans), but also making and releasing comprehensive videos on how to do the job(s) and why to buy their parts vs. other's.
There were no problems with my order other than I was expecting OEM timing chains, but received IWIS brand chains. I used the free shipping option (spent well over $99) on a Wednesday and it arrived via UPS the following Monday efficiently packaged with care.
NOW MY COMPLAINTS:
I am somewhat confused as to the consistency in pricing on some of the kits not accurately reflecting what is included.
For example: the only difference between the MINIMAL and MINIMAL PLUS kits is just (4) timing chains (OEM or ??) but the difference in price is $168, $235 difference between BASIC and BASIC PLUS, $219 difference between INTERMEDIATE and INTERMEDIATE PLUS or the FULL and FULL PLUS kits respectively. JHM offers the chains alone (OEM supposedly) for $252.
Some timing kits mention JHM-OEM vs. OEM but do not mention which components will be OEM and which will be aftermarket and who that supplier is. For instance, I ordered the OEM BASIC PLUS timing chain kit and my chains were IWIS branded vs. Audi/VAG/OEM.
So basically my complaint isn't so much of a quality issue vs. an accuracy and consistency issue. Oh, also the video mistakenly claimed that all timing chain kits included an M16 triple square socket for the camshaft sprocket bolts (which were included in my kit, thank you JHM) and you might consider adding info regarding which tensioners get the (4) new bolts, where the cyl. head timing cover-to-coolant crossover pipe seals that are included go and the accessory drive seal installation procedure is for the seal included in kit but mentioned only as an included part # and vague description.

Product Questions
1:) Does this kit include the o-ring/seal for the intermediate chain's tensioner (the only tensioner that requires an o-ring, part #N90638402)? I see the green seal for the accessory drive tensioner, but not the lower/intermediate chain tensioner's.
2:) Why aren't the guides located between the intake and exhaust sprockets (Audi part #079109513D (2 are needed)) included in the timing chain kits? I would think these should be replaced along with all the other worn guides.
Thank you very much for all your help in getting my Audi A6 back to like new condition.
