GruvenParts.com builds bulletproof TIG welded Y Pipes to replace the OEM plastic in your VW coolant system!


Billet Upper Radiator Hose Y Pipes

PLEASE NOTE : This part is professionally TIG welded! There are no junk tapped threads into thin wall aluminum like the lesser versions offered by unscrupulous rip off artists. And its warranted for life!

An absolute MUST HAVE for all MK3 VR6 owners and MK4 New Beetle owners. The upper radiator hose on these models is quite a pricey item from the dealer – usually about $100. The most documented cause of replacement on this hose is due to the plastic Y fitting which connects the 3 short hose pieces. The VW Y pipe cannot be bought separately, and is not suited for the high temperatures under the hood. Hell, its plastic – what did you expect?!

Dont buy the OEM plastic part when you can buy this BILLET ALUMINUM TIG Welded replacement part for half the price!

If you need a custom water temp sensor port welded on, please let us know. We are happy to perform customization on ANY of our products.

Replaces the following OEM P/N :

1H0-122-101E (1H0122101E) – MK3 Golf/Jetta VR6
3A0-122-101E (3A0122101E) – VR6 Passat
1C0-121-438A (1C0121438A) – New Beetle

VR6 Billet Aux Water Pump Bracket – All VR6

This part replaces the useless rubber donut OEM P/N 035-959-209E (035959209E) that does a poor job supporting your PRICEY auxiliary water pump, and related PRICEY hoses. The OEM rubber donut allows the weight of the pump and hoses to sag, causing stress which can lead to pump and hose failure. Our billet version is the way VW should of designed it to begin with and locks the pump and hoses tight! On or off track, this part will secure the aux pump and prevent pump and hose failure.

Replaces OEM P/N 035-959-209E (035959209E) common to the following vehicles -

Corrado - all VR6
Eos - 2007 + 3.2L VR6
Eurovan - All VR6
R32 - 2004
Golf, Jetta, Jetta Wagon - 1993-2007 All VR6
Passat - 1992-2005 - All VR6 and V8
Phaeton - 2004-2007 6L V12
Touareg - 2003 on 3.2L VR6

Billet VW/Audi VR6/V6/V8 Oil Filter Housings !

Precision Machined Aluminum Oil Filter Housings For VW And Audi VR6/V6/V8 Engines !


This one was worth the wait, folks! Never, but NEVER break a flimsy plastic oil filter housing again. Or deal with the unsightly leaks created by the cheaply made (yet expensive) plastic OEM housing cracking and deflecting. We made this one the way VW and Audi should have – from A SOLID BLOCK OF ALUMINUM, by God!


First, we start with a massive chunk of Aircraft Grade 6061-T6511 Aluminum. The section is delicately placed on one of our special CNC machining centers and precision cut to EXACTLY match the OEM plastic housing. The metal gods (well, in this case, one of our highly talented CNC programmers) has programmed elaborate steps for the very time consuming and expensive operation of profiling the special buttress threads into the housing using the exact DIN spec thread cutting tool required for a perfect seal. It simply doesn’t get better than this!

We also provide a proper threaded drain plug of the same size as your oil pan plug (use just 1 19mm socket for both!). Rather than some useless internal soft hex plug which easily strips, ours is a genuine Audi plug made from steel with an honest 19mm external hex. The plug comes with a contained sealing washer as well. And yes, we also provide USEABLE 36mm hex flats so you can easily remove the housing with a standard 36mm socket. Imagine that : You can simply drain the housing using its proper drain plug bolt that wont round off, and remove the housing using a proper 36mm socket that also wont round off. This could possibly make changing your oil fun again!


This product is intended to replace VW/Audi Part Numbers 021-115-433A (021115433A) and 021-115-433B (021115433B) housings. Please check the OEM part number of your oil filter housing before ordering. You can do this easily by calling your dealer and giving them your VIN #. It will fit the following vehicles :

VW Corrado (1992-1995 w/AAA VR6 engine)
VW Golf and Jetta/Wagon (1993-2006 w/AAA and AFP VR6 engines)
VW Passat (1992-1997 w/AAA VR6 engine)
VW Touareg (2003-2007 w/3.2 and 3.6 V6 engines)
VW Eurovan (1996-2004 w/AES V6 engine)

Audi A8/S8 (2000-2003 w/4.2L AUX V8 engine)
Audi Q7 (2007-2009 w/3.6L BHK V6 engine)

Special Note At The End :

Use oil filter part number 021-115-562 (021115562) or equivalent with our metal housing. If your parts department requires a vehicle type, tell them “1995 VW Golf GTI VR6”. This is the older, vastly superior cartridge filter with the metal end caps. VW, in their infinite cost savings wisdom, superseded it with a cheaper, cardboard end filter (021-115-562A). Please make sure to order filter 021-115-562 oil filter (or equivalent) as it is the superior filter for these engines, and will fit correctly with this housing. You can buy it from us using the drop down menu on the product page, or at any dealer or trusted auto parts store.

has there been any more updates or attempts on a thermostat housing setup?

[GruvenParts.com]

Please post what you would pay for billet thermo housing.

The issue has been cost, no one wants to pay $200-300 for billet version when the chinese plastic versions cost 1/10th of that.

If you guys really want it, post what you would seriously pay for billet version. We have many many hours invested in that project, but it is expensive to machine such a complex part. As for using a casting, we do not believe in sourcing out the work overseas. We could not control the material they would use, nor the accuracy. The cast part would also need to be post machined, as the casting will be far from net shape. We can machine these in house, but it is not inexpensive.

Please post what you would pay...

Professor “No Way” Nowak who taught engineering students at Clemson University used to say (in his classic, often imitated high pitched southern drawl) : “there’s no such thing as a pushing rope, yankee boy!”, as he marked big red X’s on the pop quiz sheets.

And in theory, he was exactly right - cables and ropes are designed to pull loads not push them.

But in reality, VW created compact vehicles with sideways mounted VR6 motors crammed into tiny engine bays. All of which necessitated the cable shifted 02A transmission. A thing of … err….beauty (not quite the right word). The mechanism which controls the gear shifting relies on 2 cables that both push and pull linkages within the transmission. Professor Nowak would of given this one a big red X.

As it turns out, the pulling and pushing cables system works surprisingly well, but we have made it even better with these upgraded billet shift linkage parts !


02A Billet Stainless Steel Short Shifter Bracket

Replace the weak plastic link in your cable shift mechanism with this one made from Aerospace grade, hardened stainless steel. Reduces side/side shift throw by 35%! This part replaces OEM P/N 1J0-711-256 (1J0711256) common to most 02A cable shift MK3, MK4 Jettas, Golfs, TDI’s, Beetles, Passats, and Corrado VR6.

Replaces OEM P/N 1J0-711-256 (1J0711256)


Stainless FWD/AFT Steel Shift Cable Repair Block

GruvenParts.com is proud to release this solid stainless fwd/aft cable shift repair block for cable shift VW vehicles. This part will quickly replace the weak forward end of the factory fwd/aft shift cable P/N 1H0711265 (1HO-711-265) where it connects to the transmission linkage. There is no need to source an entire shift cable mechanism (which is very hard to find, and also quite pricey) in the event of a broken fwd/aft shift cable. And if your cable is not yet broken, throw 1 of these in the glove box and be prepared for the inevitable!

This repair block repairs the FWD/AFT cable P/N 1H0711265 (1HO-711-265) common to most 02A cable shift MK3, MK4 Jettas, Golfs, TDI’s, Beetles, Passats, and Corrado VR6.


Stainless SIDE/SIDE Steel Shift Cable Repair Block

GruvenParts.com now also has solid stainless side/side cable shift repair blocks for cable shift VW vehicles. Once again, there is no need to source an entire shift cable mechanism (which is very hard to find, and also quite pricey) in the event of a broken shift cable. And if your cable is not yet broken, throw 1 of these in the glove box and be prepared for the inevitable!

Add some indestructible hardware to the factory cable shift mechanism where it needs it most! Buy these parts together and save!!
