VW Brake Vacuum Pump - Genuine VW 06L145100M

Product Information

A vacuum pump is a component that generates the necessary vacuum pressure for various vehicle systems, such as the brake booster, turbocharger controls, and emissions equipment. It is especially important in modern engines, including turbocharged and diesel engines, where natural engine vacuum may be insufficient. A properly functioning vacuum pump ensures safe braking performance and reliable operation of vacuum-dependent systems.

• Hard or stiff brake pedal, due to insufficient vacuum supply to the brake booster.
• Poor engine performance, affecting systems like turbo or emissions controls.
• Oil leaks or unusual noises from the pump, indicating internal wear or damage.

About Genuine VW

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 VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW 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 VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly 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.
