Genuine 06M115201F Engine Oil Temperature Thermostat for Audi Porsche VAG

The Genuine 06M 115 201 F is an OEM engine oil temperature thermostat designed for use in Audi, Volkswagen, and Porsche vehicles equipped with compatible VAG group engines. As a factory-original component, it meets the exact engineering specifications required for proper oil temperature regulation in these precision powertrains.

What It Does:

The engine oil thermostat controls oil temperature by regulating coolant flow through the oil cooler. During cold starts and warm-up cycles, the thermostat keeps oil circulating within the engine and bypasses the cooler, allowing oil to reach optimal operating temperature more quickly. Once oil reaches proper temperature, the thermostat opens to route oil through the cooler, preventing overheating and protecting critical engine components.

Key Features:

• Genuine OEM part — manufactured to original factory specifications for precise fit and function
• OEM Part Number: 06M-115-201-F (also referenced as VAG-06M115201F)
• Maintains proper oil viscosity by preventing both over-cooling and overheating of engine oil
• Protects bearings, pistons, camshafts, and valve train components from oil-related wear
• Ensures consistent oil pressure and lubrication performance across all operating conditions
• Direct OEM replacement — no modifications required for installation

A failing oil thermostat can cause oil to run too hot or too cold, leading to accelerated engine wear, sludge buildup, and potential long-term damage to internal engine components. Replacing a worn or stuck thermostat with a genuine OEM unit restores proper oil temperature management and helps maintain the long-term health of the engine.
