This EGR valve fits VAG Group 2.0 TDI EA288 engines, part of Volkswagen’s Euro 6 diesel generation introduced from 2013 onwards. The EA288 (short for Entwicklungsauftrag 288) is a modular diesel engine platform used across VW, Audi, SEAT, and Škoda vehicles built on the MQB chassis.
It succeeded the earlier EA189 engine family and features advanced emissions control, including an electronically controlled EGR valve, variable-geometry turbocharger, and common-rail fuel system.
Designed for improved efficiency, reliability, and reduced emissions, the EA288 powers popular models such as:
Volkswagen: Golf Mk7, Passat B8, Tiguan II, Transporter T6
Audi: A3 8V, A4 B9, A5, Q3, Q5
Škoda: Octavia III, Superb III, Kodiaq
SEAT: Leon III, Ateca, Alhambra
This VAICO V10-63-0130 valve is a direct-fit replacement for the electric EGR control unit used on these EA288 engines.
