Audi VW Engine Air Duct Clamp - Genuine Audi VW 1H0145917A

Product Information

An engine air duct clamp is a fastening component used to secure the air intake ducting that directs clean, filtered air into the engine. By holding the duct firmly in place, the clamp prevents air leaks that could reduce engine efficiency or allow unfiltered air to enter. Properly functioning air duct clamps help maintain stable airflow, optimize combustion, and support overall engine performance.

• Loose or disconnected air ducts, leading to poor engine performance or stalling.
• Unusual hissing noises, caused by air leaks in the intake system.
• Check Engine Light illumination, triggered by irregular airflow or sensor readings.

About Genuine VW Audi

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VAG to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VAG” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VAG, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VAG Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VAG are not necessarily manufactured by VAG. No cause for concern, as VAG designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VAG for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VAG parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VAG logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
