Nissens 98216 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve

Nissens EGR Valve for Volkswagen Applications

The Nissens 98216 exhaust gas recirculation valve is built for precise electrical control of exhaust flow and stable engine combustion. It is a direct-fit emission control component for select Volkswagen Beetle, Golf, Jetta, and Passat models from 2004 through 2006.

• Electrical EGR valve for controlled exhaust gas recirculation
• Steel construction with high nickel alloy content for heat resistance
• Position sensor included for feedback and calibration support
• 5-pin male D-shape connector
• Gasket or seal included
• Compatible with Volkswagen Beetle, Golf, Jetta, and Passat applications

Detailed Product Information

Nissens part number 98216 is engineered to restore proper exhaust gas recirculation function in vehicles that rely on an electronically controlled EGR system. By regulating recirculated exhaust flow, the valve helps maintain consistent combustion behavior and emissions performance. The unit is manufactured from steel and uses high nickel alloy materials to improve resistance to the heat and stress common in EGR service. This part cross-references Bosch (e.g., 038131501AD, 038131501BF) for the same application.

Compatible With 2004-2006 Volkswagen Beetle, 2004-2006 Volkswagen Golf, 2004-2005 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2004-2005 Volkswagen Passat. The Nissens 98216 is also a relevant search match for drivers looking for a Volkswagen Beetle EGR valve replacement, Volkswagen Golf EGR valve replacement, or Volkswagen Passat emission control valve service part.

Common Issues This Part May Address

• Rough idle caused by improper exhaust gas recirculation flow
• Check engine light related to EGR system faults
• Emissions test failure tied to valve sticking or incorrect calibration
• Driveability concerns from inconsistent combustion control
• Loss of EGR feedback when the position sensor is no longer reading correctly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, pin count, and engine application before installation. This valve uses an electrical operation type, a 5-pin male connector, and includes a gasket or seal; mounting hardware is not included. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly and inspect the EGR passages for carbon buildup before fitting the replacement part. Confirm that the replacement matches the original valve location and calibration requirements for your vehicle.

Quality Assurance

Nissens manufactures this EGR valve using tested materials and calibration standards to support proper fit and reliable operation in vehicle. Part number 98216 is built for emission control service on the listed Volkswagen applications and is validated for fitment and function during production testing.
