I don't change the chains. There is no measurable difference between a 200K example and a brand new one, other than the aftermarket items I've seen are flimsy looking tat. If you must change them, genuine only. 058109229B is the number in the catalogue so go with that, although you do appear to be getting fairly reamed on the price - genuine are <$100 here.

Elring or Reinz for the valve stem seals. They are OEs for those types of components. Febi as third choice. I have not had good results from Corteco parts and will not buy them.
