Audi Engine Exhaust Valve - Genuine Audi 06M109611R

Product Information

An engine exhaust valve is a component inside the cylinder head that controls the release of burned gases from the combustion chamber after the air-fuel mixture has been ignited. It works in tandem with the intake valve, which allows fresh air and fuel into the cylinder. Exhaust valves are typically made of heat-resistant steel to withstand high temperatures and pressure.

• Poor Engine Performance / Power Loss: Incomplete exhaust evacuation reduces cylinder efficiency.
• Engine Misfires: Burned, bent, or leaking valves can cause misfires or rough idle.
• Excessive Smoke from Exhaust: White, blue, or black smoke may result from oil burning or improper combustion.

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.
