Detailed Description

This Nissens 96568 part is built for vehicles that require a precise OE-style thermal component with the listed inlet and outlet sizing. The aluminum core and brazed cooling fin construction support consistent heat exchange, while the plastic tank material matches the fitment requirements of the application. It cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Use this part when servicing a Volkswagen Passat, Volkswagen Beetle, Volkswagen Jetta, or Audi TT Quattro that matches the listed years and notes. The Nissens 96568 designation is also helpful when verifying replacement by part number during catalog lookup or repair planning.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Damaged or leaking thermal component housing
• Restricted heat transfer from worn internal construction
• Incorrect fitment from a previous replacement part
• Connector or hose size mismatch during repair
• Cooling system service on listed Volkswagen and Audi models

Installation Notes

Confirm the vehicle year, model, and note-specific fitment before installation. Verify inlet and outlet diameter, core dimensions, and mounting points against the removed part. Inspect connected hoses, seals, and clamps for wear before reassembly, and follow the vehicle service procedure for bleeding or refilling the system if applicable.

Quality Assurance

Nissens develops and manufactures thermal and engine efficiency components to a consistent quality standard across its range. Part number 96568 is produced as a specific-fit replacement and is backed by Nissens’ manufacturing focus on aftermarket thermal management parts.
