A buyer's guide to used Volkswagen CC camshaft
No two camshafts are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
- State whether it's petrol or diesel
- State the engine code if known

Fitment questions
Does the Volkswagen CC actually have a camshaft?
Yes, all Volkswagen CC engines — whether petrol or diesel, turbocharged or not — use conventional camshafts as part of their valvetrain, so this is a genuine part on every variant of the model. The CC was sold in the UK from around 2008 to 2016, covering both the original CC and the facelifted Passat CC, and all engines across that range use either a single or dual camshaft arrangement depending on the specific engine. You will need your exact engine code to source the right one, as the camshaft design varies significantly between units.
Will a camshaft from a 2010 Volkswagen CC fit a 2013 model?
The Volkswagen CC received a significant facelift in 2012, which brought updated engine options and revised engine internals on some units, so a 2010 and a 2013 car may well have different engine codes even if the displacement and fuel type look the same on paper. If both cars share the exact same engine code, the camshaft is very likely compatible, but crossing the 2012 facelift boundary means you should confirm the engine code match with the breaker before buying. The engine code is stamped on the block and also appears on your V5 or via a HPI/VIN check.
Does it matter whether my CC is a 2.0 TDI or a 2.0 TSI when buying a used camshaft?
Yes, fuel type and engine code are critical here — a 2.0 TDI diesel camshaft is completely different from a 2.0 TSI petrol camshaft and will not interchange. Even within the TDI range, different generations of the 2.0 TDI engine (for example, engines coded CBAB, CFFB, or CFGB) can use different camshaft profiles, so matching the engine code precisely is essential. Always give the breaker your full engine code, not just the displacement or fuel type.
Does the trim level affect which camshaft I need — for example, does a GT car need a different camshaft to a standard CC?
Trim level has no bearing on camshaft fitment whatsoever — the camshaft follows the engine, not the badge or specification level. A GT, a standard CC, and any other trim variant fitted with the same engine code will all use the same camshaft. Where trims differed in the UK market, it was in equipment, interior specification, and cosmetic details, none of which affect the engine internals.
I have a 2.0 TDI CC — do all 2.0 TDI engines in the CC use the same camshaft?
No, the 2.0 TDI engine was updated across the CC's production run and different versions carry different engine codes, which can mean different camshaft specifications. Common UK-market TDI codes in the CC include variants like CBAB and CFGB, and while some shared components, the camshafts are not always interchangeable between them. Check the engine code on your cam cover, block, or V5 and confirm with the breaker that the donor engine code matches yours exactly.
Does the gearbox type — DSG or manual — affect which camshaft fits my Volkswagen CC?
In most cases the gearbox type does not directly determine the camshaft specification, as the camshaft is dictated by the engine code rather than what the engine is paired with. However, some engine codes were only ever offered with a specific gearbox in the CC, so your engine code will implicitly reflect the drivetrain combination your car left the factory with. Give the breaker both your engine code and gearbox type so they can cross-reference the donor vehicle accurately.
