Click Here for GruvenParts Billet Universal Dipstick Handles
Introducing the GruvenParts universal billet dipstick handle! We've teamed up with WhanAB to bring you this universal billet dipstick handle professionally CNC'd from aircraft grade aluminum. This handle allows you to retain the factory wire, stalk, and level indicator section while replacing all the visible orange plastic with a trick billet aluminum handle. This option is truly the best of both worlds – aftermarket looks using the OEM wire instead of a braided wire that could bend and provide inaccurate readings!
Choose between a circular pull handle or square to suite your needs!
Fits any rectangular steel wire dipstick. This can be modified to fit composite wires or other cross sections, but may require bonding of the billet handle.

Audi/VW 4.2V8 Intake Linkage Arms !
Audi/VW 4.2 V8 Intake Manifold Pivot Levers !
GruvenParts.com 4.2L V8 Intake Manifold Linkage Arms and Pivot Levers : Warranted for Life !
Got a 4.2L V8 Audi or VW ? Then you had better check your intake manifold actuator arms Audi/VW P/N 077-198-327A (077198327A) and the corresponding Manifold Pivot Levers ! The OEM plastic versions quickly break, leaving your intake manifold rod stuck which causes poor idle, drivability, loss of power, and poor fuel mileage. This is a very common problem on the Audi/VW 4.2L V8, an otherwise great engine. The dealer will only sell you a repair kit for the linkage arms at nearly $400, and each repair kit only comes with 1 of each length linkage arm. If your vehicle has 2 broken linkage arms, you would need to buy 2 dealer repair kits (cost nearly $800)! If you need a pivot lever, you are really out of luck, as the dealer will only sell you an entire intake manifold at a cost of several thousand dollars !
Our Billet intake manifold arms and pivot levers are made from aerospace grade 6061-T651 aluminum with the linkages containing specially machined black Delrin inserts to provide a perfect fit to the actuator *****. These parts are warranted for life!
Dont go to the VW/Audi dealer and pay big bucks for the new actuator kit or entire new manifold when all you need are these parts (the actuators themselves rarely fail). And DONT pay that kind of money for another set of plastic arms and levers that will break again in quick order.
Go with GruvenParts.com and NEVER WORRY ABOUT THIS AGAIN !
The billet linkage arms fit the following vehicles:
2004-2007 VW Phaeton V8
2003+ VW Touareg V8
2002-2004 Audi A6/Avant
1998-2004 Audi A6/S6 Quattro
2000+ Audi A8/S8 Quattro
Replaces OEM P/N 077198327A (077-198-327A)
The billet pivot levers fit the following vehicles :
VW Touareg
VW Phaeton
Audi A6, S6
Audi A8, S8, A8L
(and many other models - take a look at your engine and see if it is the same as this part)
These fit the following intake manifolds (and likely many others) :
077-133-185BK (077133185BK)
077-133-185BD (077133185BD)
077-133-185BN (077133185BN)
077-133-185BG (077133185G)
077-133-185M (077133185M)
077-133-185AM (077133185AM)
077-133-185BA (077133185BA)
077-133-185AT (077133185AT)
079-133-185AF (079133185AF)

Billet VW/Audi 4.2L V8 Oil Filter Housings !
Special Pricing in Effect ! Precision Machined Aluminum Oil Filter Housings For VW And Audi 4.2L V8 Engines !
GruvenParts.com now has these billet aluminum oil filter housing covers for VW and Audi 4.2L V8 to replace OEM part number 077-115-433B (077115433B). The OEM plastic oil filter housing cover is not very durable and often strips out making it impossible to remove the oil filter. The engine flange which this cover screws into costs over $1,000 and is easily broken while trying to remove a stripped filter housing cover. We have put an end to this nonsense !
The GruvenParts billet aluminum oil filter housing cover is made from a massive chunk of Aircraft Grade 6061-T6511 Aluminum. The section is delicately placed onto one of our special CNC machining centers and precision cut to EXACTLY match the OEM plastic housing. The metal gods (well, in this case, one of our highly talented CNC programmers) has programmed elaborate steps for the very time consuming and expensive operation of profiling the special buttress threads into the housing using the exact DIN spec thread cutting tool required for a perfect seal. It simply doesn’t get better than this!
We also provide USEABLE 24mm hex flats so you can easily remove the housing with a standard 24mm socket. This could possibly make changing your oil fun again!
Fits the following vehicles :
VW Phaeton w/4.2L V8 (all years)
Audi A4/S4/Quattro/Cabrio (2002-2007) w/4.2L V8 BHF engine
Audi A6 / AllRoad (2001-2007) w/4.2L V8 BNK and BAS engines
Audi A8 (2003-2006) w/4.2L V8 BFM and BGK engines
May fit other vehicles as well, please check to see if your vehicle uses OEM part number 077-115-433B (077115433B) oil filter housing cover.
This housing uses the standard OEM filter, P/N 079-198-405A (079198405A). You can order the billet housing with or without the filter.

Billet VW Touareg V8 Oil Filter Housings - Click the Picture !
This one was worth the wait, folks! Never, but NEVER break a flimsy plastic oil filter housing again. Or deal with the unsightly leaks created by the cheaply made (yet expensive) plastic OEM housing cracking and deflecting. We made this one the way VW and Audi should have – from A SOLID BLOCK OF ALUMINUM, by God!
First, we start with a massive chunk of Aircraft Grade 6061-T6511 Aluminum. The section is delicately placed on one of our special CNC machining centers and precision cut to EXACTLY match the OEM plastic housing. The metal gods (well, in this case, one of our highly talented CNC programmers) has programmed elaborate steps for the very time consuming and expensive operation of profiling the special buttress threads into the housing using the exact DIN spec thread cutting tool required for a perfect seal. It simply doesn’t get better than this!
We also provide a proper threaded drain plug rather than some useless internal soft hex plug which easily strips. The plug comes with a contained sealing washer as well. And yes, we also provide USEABLE 36mm hex flats so you can easily remove the housing with a standard 36mm socket. Imagine that : You can simply drain the housing using its proper drain plug bolt that wont round off, and remove the housing using a proper 36mm socket that also wont round off. This could possibly make changing your oil fun again!
This billet oil filter housing cover is intended to replace VW Part Number 077-115-433A (077115433A) which is installed on VW Part Number 077-115-401L (077115401L), 077-115-401AB (077115401AB), and 077-115-401AD (077115401AD) oil filter and oil cooler assembly on the following vehicles :
VW Touareg (2003-2007 w/4.2L AXQ V8 engine)
(it might fit others, just match up the part numbers listed EXACTLY before ordering)
Special Note At The End :
Use oil filter part number 021-115-562 (021115562) with our metal housing cover. If your parts department requires a vehicle type, tell them “1995 VW Golf GTI VR6”. This is the older, vastly superior cartridge filter with the metal end caps. VW, in their infinite cost savings wisdom, superseded it with a cheaper, cardboard end filter. Please make sure to order filter P/N 021-115-562 oil filter as it is the superior filter for these engines, and will fit correctly with this housing. You can buy it from us using the drop down menu below, or at any dealer or trusted auto parts store.
When installing this part, please clean all threads and use a bit of anti-seize on the threads of our part to make this easier to remove during your next oil change. Also, be sure to lubricate the o-ring with some fresh oil."
