It is designed to match OE fitment requirements and uses stainless steel construction to withstand the demanding conditions around the turbo system.

What It Helps Fix

• Oil leaks at the turbocharger feed line
• Restricted oil delivery to the turbocharger
• Heat-related deterioration of the original oil line
• Fitment issues caused by non-OE-style replacement parts
• Service concerns on turbocharged Volkswagen Beetle, Jetta, and Passat models

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle year, model, and turbocharger oil line routing before installation. Inspect the mating surfaces and surrounding turbo components for heat damage, contamination, or thread wear before fitting the new line. Because this is a bolt-on turbo oil feed line, proper alignment at both ends is important to avoid stress on the line and to maintain a secure seal.

Gates manufactures this turbocharger oil supply line as an OE exact replacement part for the listed Volkswagen applications. The stainless steel design and OE-style fitment support consistent service replacement on turbocharged systems.
