End Oil Leaks with the 06J115679 Oil Filter Takeover Housing
Is your for VW/Audi's oil pooling under the engine?
A cracked 06J115679 oil filter housing can cause catastrophic oil loss and turbocharger damage. Our upgraded replacement housing solves brittle OEM design flaws while maintaining exact fitment for EA888 engines.
Why Replace Your Oil Filter Takeover?
Prevent Stranding: Sudden housing fractures drain oil rapidly, risking engine seizure.
Stop Turbo Failure: Low oil pressure starves turbos, leading to $3,000+ repairs.
Cost-Effective Fix: Avoid dealership markups—this 06J115679 housing costs 60% less than OEM.
Replacement Steps:
Cool Engine: Let the engine sit for 1 hour to avoid burns.
Remove Cover: Unclip the engine cover to access the 06J115679 oil filter housing.
Drain Residual Oil: Place a drain pan beneath the housing.
Swap Housing: Unbolt the old unit (3x T25 screws) and snap in the new housing.
Prime System: Turn the ignition to "ON" (without starting) to activate the oil pump for 10 seconds.
