Detailed Description

This Dorman engine coolant water outlet, part number 902-886, is engineered as a direct replacement for the factory coolant outlet used on select 1997-2000 Audi A4, 1997-2000 Audi A4 Quattro, and 1998-2000 Volkswagen Passat applications. The plastic housing is shaped to match the original layout, including the 90-degree neck angle and 1.5-inch outlet size, helping maintain proper coolant routing at the engine connection point.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the outlet shape, neck angle, and mounting-hole layout against the original part before installation.

Confirm fitment for your specific Audi A4, Audi A4 Quattro, or Volkswagen Passat by year and outlet position before assembly.
