Gates 98-02 Volkswagen Passat V-6 2.8L Valve Cover To Intake Tube Emission Control Hose

If you're working on the emission control system for your 1996-2001 Audi A4 or A6, or your 1998-2002 Volkswagen Passat with the V6 2.8L engine, this emission control hose from Gates is what you need. This hose connects the valve cover to the intake tube, and it's a common spot for leaks that can cause issues with your car's emissions system. A cracked or brittle hose here can let unmetered air into the engine, affecting performance and potentially triggering a check engine light.

Gates makes this hose to fit right, just like the original equipment. It's made from durable rubber compounds that are built to withstand the heat and oil vapors found in the engine bay. Replacing a worn-out hose like this is a straightforward job that can help ensure your vehicle passes emissions tests and runs smoothly. It’s a well-built part that addresses a common failure point on these vehicles.
