AKS Billet Oil Filter Housing For EA113 2.0 TFSI - AKSOFHEA113

AKS Billet Oil Filter Housing For EA113 2.0 TFSI - AKSOFHEA113

For years now, a major gripe of the EA113 2.0 TFSI engine has been the factory plastic oil filter housing, most recent part number 06F115397K, its rubbish! We must have replaced more than our fair share of them in our workshop. They go brittle over time and crack causing an oil leak that makes an absolute mess of the car, and the workshop floor. Couple that issue with cars producing far more power than standard, needing additional oil cooling for hard / track usage and you end up with a part that really isn't up to scratch. You have no way to run any oil cooler fittings from the stock filter housing without using a sandwich plate, which is all well and good but this takes up a lot of space in an cramped part of an already cramped engine bay, and you are still left with the stock, substandard housing fitted.

This is a part we have wanted to address for as long as we have been working on TFSI platform vehicles, and we are very excited to offer this in 2025. Our AKS ultimate oil cooler solution for the TFSI platform, a billet alloy filter housing, with a built in thermostat and the ability to run an oil cooler directly from the filter housing, no more plastic!

Unlike a lot of other oil cooler solutions, this kit will still enable you to retain the factory PCV system. If you select the AKS AN to stock breather adapter dropdown you will be able to plumb this straight into the PCV system. Or, you can run this housing without the stock PCV if desired, the choice is yours. The housing also fits with both stock and uprated / aftermarket throttle pipes without clearance issues.

Our kit is designed to use a spin on metal style oil filter rather than the stock paper TFSI oil filter, we recommend the earlier VAG 1.8T (BAM, AGU, etc...) Filter - Genuine part number 06A115561B (x1 filter is included with the housing, we also sell them on our website separately - Here)

The billet filter housing also works well with the 1.8T oil pump conversion mod, and from customer feedback has helped fix hard to chase oil pressure issues caused from carrying out this conversions modifications to the oil pump assembly, another result!

In 2025 we are now on our version 2 (V2) of this oil filter housing, and subsequently some minor alterations have been made from version 1 (V1). These include the change in the upper breather fitting from AN10 - AN12. Also on V2 housings the factory oil pressure switch fits directly into the oil filter housing, no adapter piece required. V1 housings had an adapter piece that went into the housing, then the factory oil pressure switch went into the adapter.

The housing is available with a few select options to allow you to purchase just our housing, or the housing with extra parts as you require.
