OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi Engine Oil Control Solenoid Valve
06E-115-243-H is an electrically operated engine oil-control valve used in selected Volkswagen and Audi engines. Catalogs describe it as an oil-pressure solenoid or a variable valve timing control solenoid according to the engine application. Its role and installation position depend on the original engine assembly, so order by the exact part number, engine specification and vehicle identification rather than the model name alone.
Technical Details and Function
The valve combines an electrical actuator with a cylindrical hydraulic valve body. The original gallery photographs show the screened oil inlet, sealing ring, mounting ear and electrical connector. The valve routes or regulates engine oil within its assigned circuit when commanded by the engine management system. In the confirmed camshaft adjustment applications, that oil flow supports hydraulic timing control; the listed TDI applications identify this part as an engine oil-control valve.
- Manufacturer: Genuine VW/Audi.
- Part number: 06E-115-243-H.
- Superseded references: public Volkswagen and Audi catalogs list 06E-115-243-E, 06E-115-243-F and 06E-115-243-G. Confirm the applicable supersession by VIN.
- Quantity supplied: one solenoid valve.
- Configuration: electrically operated hydraulic oil-control valve; match the original connector, valve body and mounting arrangement.
Common Reasons to Replace
Replacement may be appropriate after diagnosis identifies an electrical fault in the valve, a sticking hydraulic mechanism, restricted oil flow through the valve inlet, a damaged connector or a leak at the valve installation. Camshaft timing applications can produce a check-engine light, hesitation or irregular running when commanded adjustment is not achieved. These symptoms can also result from wiring faults, unsuitable oil, a separate mechanical timing problem or another hydraulic fault; confirm the cause before replacing the valve.
Fitment and Application
The table identifies confirmed model and engine profiles. Engine code and production restrictions take priority over a broad model-year match. Compare the original valve number and connector and verify the vehicle identification before ordering. A listing for one engine does not establish compatibility with another engine in the same model.

| Volkswagen Touareg | 2013–2016 | 3.0L V6 TDI diesel; CNRB | 7P TDI SUV; 240 hp; Match original CNRB engine assembly | CNRB engine only; excludes earlier diesel revisions, gasoline and hybrid engines. |
Installation and Service Notes
Follow the repair procedure for the exact engine. Protect the open oil passage from contamination, inspect the connector and wiring, and check the receiving bore and sealing arrangement before installation. Replace any seal that the applicable procedure requires and use the specified fastener torque. After repair, confirm that the relevant circuit operates correctly, check for oil leaks and clear fault codes only after the original cause has been addressed. This individual valve does not include an oil pump, camshaft adjuster, wiring harness or engine assembly.
