Installation Notes

Verify engine code and OE reference before ordering, since fitment includes FR and EM engine notes on select Volkswagen Jetta applications. Confirm whether your vehicle requires replacement cylinder head bolts, as this listing specifies without cylinder head bolts for the covered applications. Follow factory torque sequence, surface preparation, and assembly procedures during installation.
