VW EGR Valve Cooler Assembly - Hella 358167001

Product Information

The EGR (Exhaust Gas Re-circulation) cooler is an air to liquid heat exchanger that uses engine coolant to reduce exhaust gas temperatures prior to recirculating it back into the engines intake system. This system is intended to reduce NOX emissions but also significantly reduces thermal stress on cylinder head gaskets and intake/exhaust valves. It is recommended to regular inspect EGR coolers to ensure there is no antifreeze leak coming from them.
