Product Description
The TRUCKTEC AUTOMOTIVE Coolant Flange (07.19.033) is an original-equipment-quality engine thermal management component manufactured by TRUCKTEC AUTOMOTIVE. Positioned directly onto the cylinder head block housing face, its primary function is to act as a distribution junction for routing hot engine coolant out of the block and toward the radiator core and passenger heater matrix circuit. Over time, the continuous thermal cycles of heating and cooling cause factory plastic flanges to wrap, warp, or crack at their bolt bosses; this premium replacement element restores structural sealing integrity across your cooling circuit to prevent catastrophic coolant loss and engine overheating.
Product Specifications
- Manufacturer: TRUCKTEC AUTOMOTIVE
- Item Number: 07.19.033
- Product Condition: New
- Component Classification: Engine Coolant Water Outlet / Cylinder Head Distribution Flange
- Fitting Position: Cylinder Head (Front / Gearbox Side, depending on specific engine block layout)
- Material: High-temperature, fiber-reinforced polyamide polymer structural compound engineered to resist thermal stress and chemical degradation from aggressive anti-freeze additives
- Port Integrations: Features molded mounting sockets designed to house push-in engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensors and thermal sending units
- Companion Sealing Requirement: Always replace the inner profile rubber O-ring gasket and clean the aluminum cylinder head mating face thoroughly prior to installation to ensure a completely leak-free seal.
Vehicle Compatibility
This cooling system distribution flange is precision-molded to match the water-neck configurations of classic second and third-generation Volkswagen Group (VAG) passenger cars equipped with inline 4-cylinder petrol and diesel engines:
| Car Model | Compatible Engines / Variants | Engine Displacement Range | Year of Manufacture |
|---|---|---|---|
| VW Golf II (19E, 1G1) / Jetta II (19E) | 1.6 / 1.8 / 1.8 GTI / 1.6 D / 1.6 TD (Standard carburetted and fuel-injected blocks) |
1595 - 1781 cc | 1983 - 1992 |
| VW Golf III (1H1) / Vento (1H2) / Variant / Convertible | 1.6 / 1.8 / 2.0 / 1.9 D / 1.9 TD / 1.9 TDI | 1595 - 1984 cc | 1991 - 1998 |
| VW Passat B3 & B4 (3A2, 35I) / Saloon / Variant | 1.6 / 1.8 / 2.0 / 1.6 TD / 1.9 TDI | 1595 - 1984 cc | 1988 - 1997 |
| SEAT Toledo I (1L) / Ibiza II (6K1) / Cordoba (6K2) | 1.6 i / 1.8 i / 2.0 i / 1.9 D / 1.9 TD / 1.9 TDI | 1595 - 1984 cc | 1991 - 1999 |
⚠️ Engine Architecture Fitting Notice: This configuration is designed strictly for classic VAG inline 4-cylinder petrol and diesel engine architectures (such as the EA827 block family). It will NOT fit small-block 1.0L/1.3L layouts (which use a entirely distinct thermostat housing block), multi-valve VR6 engines, or later generation generation 20V Turbo / crossflow architectures that feature modified cooling passage layouts and different sensor clip configurations. Do not over-torque the securing bolts, as excessive torque will split the plastic mounting ears.
