Key Compatibility

• Engine Fit: Designed for EA111 engines including 1.2T TSI (CBZA/CBZB), 1.4T TSI (CFBA/CFBB), and 1.6L NA (BSE/BXE). Not compatible with EA888 Gen3 or other platforms.
• Vehicle Coverage:
  • Volkswagen: Golf 5/6 (2003-2013), Passat B6 (2005-2010), Tiguan 5N (2007-2011), Polo 6R (2009-2014)

• Transmission Compatibility: Works with both manual transmissions and 7-speed DSG gearboxes (shape optimized for DSG valve body clearance).

Product Advantages

• Durable Material: Made of die-cast aluminum (purity ≥99.5%) for lightweight performance (~2.06kg) and superior heat dissipation vs. steel oil pans.
• Practical Design: Features an M14×1.5 oil drain plug port; some versions include a pre-drilled hole for oil level sensors (match your vehicle configuration).
• Secure Sealing: Precise 4-bolt mounting pattern aligns perfectly with EA111’s cast-iron cylinder block, preventing oil leaks.

Usage & Maintenance Tips

• Replacement Interval: Recommended every 60,000-80,000 km (or 4 years), especially for vehicles in high-temperature environments or with frequent short trips.
• Installation Note: Tighten the oil drain plug to 30-35 N·m (avoid over-tightening to prevent thread damage on aluminum); replace the gasket during installation.
• Accessory Recommendation: Opt for original Volkswagen parts (Part No. 03C103603S) for 150,000+ km service life—aftermarket parts may have insufficient wall thickness (2.8mm vs. original 3.5mm), leading to poor heat dissipation or oil leaks.
