This is a small but high-profile part in the Audi/VW community because of its tendency to cause "mystery" coolant leaks.
It serves as the direct bridge/connector between the Engine Oil Cooler and the Water Pump Module. It allows coolant to flow from the pump into the cooler to regulate engine oil temperatures.
It comes with two pre-installed rubber O-rings (one for each end).
Engine Fitment: Primarily the EA888 Gen 1 & Gen 2 (2.0T TSI/TFSI) engines.
This part is ubiquitous across the 2008–2017 Audi and VW lineup, including:
Audi A3 / A4 / A5 (2.0T models, approx. 2009–2016)
Audi Q3 / Q5 (2.0T models)
Audi TT (2.0T)
VW GTI / Jetta GLI / Tiguan / CC
