Audi VW EGR Valve Gasket - Genuine VW Audi 03L131547D

Product Information

An Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve is a critical component in a vehicle’s emission control system. It recirculates a portion of the engine’s exhaust gases back into the intake manifold to be burned again. This process reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by lowering the combustion temperature, helping the vehicle meet emissions regulations, and improving fuel efficiency.

• Rough Idle: A faulty EGR valve can cause a rough or unstable idle, as incorrect amounts of exhaust gases are recirculated into the intake manifold
• Check Engine Light: An issue with the EGR valve can trigger the check engine light. Common error codes for a failing EGR valve include P0400 to P0408, related to EGR flow or circuit issues
• Poor Fuel Economy: If the valve is stuck open, it can lead to excessive recirculation, reducing combustion efficiency and lowering fuel economy

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.
