The Genuine Audi Volkswagen Engine Oil Filter Element 079198405A is an original VAG filtration component designed for the engine lubrication system of compatible Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. It filters contaminants from the circulating engine oil before the lubricant continues through critical internal engine components.
Part number 079198405A, formatted as 079 198 405 A, is identified in Genuine Volkswagen Group parts data as a Filter Element with Gasket. Audi parts catalogues also describe it as an Engine Oil Filter Element. It is therefore an oil filter, not an engine air filter.
This cartridge-style filter is strongly documented for selected Audi V8 applications, including the S4, A6, A8 and Allroad, as well as selected Volkswagen Phaeton 4.2 V8 applications. Exact fitment varies according to engine code, model year and market specification.
Using the correct oil filter is important for maintaining effective engine-oil filtration. Because several similar filter elements were used across Volkswagen Group engines, compatibility should be confirmed using the VIN or engine code before ordering.
079198405A is an original Volkswagen Group filter element designed for compatible factory engine-oil filter housings. Using the correct filter helps maintain the intended oil-filtration system and proper fit within the applicable housing.
The oil filter forms part of the engine lubrication circuit. Its purpose is to remove contaminants from circulating engine oil before the lubricant continues through the engine.
079198405A is an Engine Oil Filter Element. It should not be described as an Engine Air Filter. An engine air filter cleans incoming combustion air, whereas 079198405A filters the engine's lubricating oil.
Genuine Volkswagen Group catalogue data describes 079198405A as a Filter Element with Gasket. Package contents should still be checked against physical stock before promising any additional seals beyond what is actually supplied.
079198405A is strongly documented for selected Audi S4 B6 and B7 applications equipped with the applicable 4.2L V8 engine.
Selected Audi A6 C6 / 4F 4.2L V8 applications and Audi A8 D3 / 4E 3.7L and 4.2L V8 applications are documented.
Selected Audi Allroad C5 / 4BH vehicles equipped with the 4.2L V8 are also documented with this oil-filter reference.
Selected Volkswagen Phaeton vehicles equipped with the 4.2L V8 4Motion are documented, including applicable BGJ and BGH engine-code applications depending on production date.
Parts data identifies 079198405 as an earlier reference associated with 079198405A. The suffix should be retained when listing the current product.
079198405A is a filter insert / cartridge filter rather than a conventional complete spin-on metal-canister filter. It installs into the applicable engine oil-filter housing; the housing itself is not included unless specifically stated.
Oil-filter fitment can vary according to vehicle model, model year, engine displacement, engine code, production date, market specification and VIN.
Provide the complete 17-digit VIN to European Auto Spares for accurate compatibility verification.
