This part cross-references URO (e.g., 028117021L, 038117021E) for the same application.

Compatible With 2006-2010 Volkswagen Passat, 2007-2008 Volkswagen Eos, 2009-2014 Volkswagen CC, 2009-2010 Volkswagen Jetta, 2010-2014 Volkswagen Golf, 2011 Volkswagen Touareg to 06/2011, 2006-2009 Audi A3 Quattro, 2007-2010 Audi Q7, and 2010-2013 Audi A3. The Nissens 90655 is a practical replacement choice when servicing the oil cooling circuit on these vehicles.

Common Issues This Part Addresses

• Oil temperature running higher than normal
• Oil cooler leakage at the sealing interface
• Reduced heat transfer from a worn or restricted cooler
• Service needs related to oil cooling system contamination
• Replacement of a damaged aluminum cooler housing

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the mating surfaces, oil passages, and surrounding cooling-system components before installation. Replace the sealing O-ring during service and verify that the cooler seats correctly to prevent leaks. Confirm vehicle-specific fitment by model year and note that the 2011 Volkswagen Touareg application applies only to vehicles built through 06/2011.

Quality Assurance

Nissens develops thermal and engine-efficiency components with a focus on consistent manufacturing quality across its aftermarket range. Part number 90655 is produced to support reliable fitment and service performance on the listed Volkswagen and Audi applications.
