This part cross-references Gates 19151 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Transmission fluid overheating caused by a failed cooler
- Corrosion-related cooler damage
- Physical damage to the original front-mounted unit
- Loss of cooling efficiency in Volkswagen CC, Passat CC, and Passat applications
- Temperature control issues after cooler deterioration
Installation Notes
Verify front-position fitment before installation and compare the push-in inlet and outlet connections, dimensions, and hose routing to the original cooler. Confirm compatibility on 2006-2010 Volkswagen Passat, 2009-2017 Volkswagen CC, and 2009-2012 Volkswagen Passat CC applications before replacing the factory unit. Part number 918-459 is a standard replacement component, so matching the original mounting and connection style is important for proper installation.
