VW 2.8 VR6 Cylinder Head Cover 021103601B / 021103601L

Product overview

A replacement cylinder head cover, also known as a valve or rocker cover, for Volkswagen 2.8 litre VR6 petrol engines. It is referenced to OE numbers including 021 103 601 B, J and L, and is intended to replace a cracked, warped or oil-weeping cover.

An oil leak from the top of the engine, a warped cover or cracked breather fittings are common reasons to replace a valve cover on older VR6 engines. A sound cover helps keep oil in and dirt out.

The table also includes many BMW models, which use different engines and should be disregarded. Confirm by OE number or engine code before ordering.
