Wells 7D1160 Turbocharger Diverter Valve for VW Audi 2.0T FSI TSI

The Wells 7D1160 is a replacement turbocharger diverter valve — also known as a recirculation valve or bypass valve — designed for Volkswagen and Audi vehicles equipped with the 2.0T FSI and TSI four-cylinder turbocharged engine. This valve is a direct-fit OEM-style replacement engineered to restore proper turbocharger system operation.

What It Does:

The diverter valve is a critical component of the turbocharger system. It vents pressurized air back into the intake when the throttle closes suddenly, preventing compressor surge and protecting the turbocharger. A failed or leaking diverter valve can result in boost pressure loss, rough idle, turbocharger noise, and fault codes such as P0234 (Turbocharger Overbost) or P0299 (Turbocharger Underbost).

Key Features:

• Direct OEM-replacement fit for VW and Audi 2.0T FSI/TSI engines with K03 turbocharger
• Plastic housing construction — country of origin: Germany
• Three-bolt mounting with 0.26 in. mount hole diameter
• Mounts directly to the turbocharger housing with three fasteners and a single electrical connector
• Restores proper boost pressure control and helps eliminate turbo-related fault codes
