Dorman 635-050 Engine Camshaft Bracket

OE Fix Camshaft Bridge Cover for Audi and Volkswagen

Dorman 635-050 is an OE FIX engine camshaft bridge cover for select Audi and Volkswagen 2.0L engines. It replaces the factory camshaft bridge cover design with an upgraded stainless steel filter housing and a laser-welded mesh screen to address common oil circuit pulsation issues.

Built for Audi A4, A5, Q5, TT, and Volkswagen GTI, Jetta, Tiguan, and Passat applications, this camshaft bridge cover helps maintain oil flow protection while reducing the risk of filter failure from normal engine operation.

• Upgraded one-piece stainless steel housing
• Laser-welded mesh screen instead of a plastic screen carrier
• Screen mesh with 3X the tensile strength of the original design
• Larger screen openings to help reduce clogging from oil circuit pulsations
• Gasket or seal included
• Intake and exhaust camshaft bore diameter: 24 mm
• Mounting hole quantity: 8
• Material: aluminum; metallic gray finish

Detailed Product Overview

The original equipment camshaft bridge cover used on certain Audi and Volkswagen 2.0 liter engines can fail when oil pressure pulsations stress the integrated mesh screen filter. Dorman 635-050 replaces that failure-prone layout with a stainless steel housing and a welded-in screen that is engineered to stay secured in service. The revised mesh design is sized to capture damaging debris while better handling pulsation-related stress in the lubrication system. This part cross-references Audi/VW OE numbers 06H103144F and 06H103144G for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Oil starvation caused by a clogged camshaft bridge screen
• Reduced engine power from restricted lubrication flow
• Stalling or irregular idle related to oil circuit contamination
• Check engine light concerns tied to camshaft bridge filter failure
• Debris entering the engine lubrication system after screen separation
