The Audi 2.9T\/3.0T engine is notorious for current waterpump failures which then fill the vacuum system with coolant. When the system becomes full of coolant it then can lead to premature failure of the Coolant Shutoff Valve.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-p\"\u003eThe OEM vacuum-actuated shutoff valve is designed to block coolant flow at cold start to help the engine warm up faster. However, it's also known to fail in the closed position, preventing coolant from circulating entirely — a dangerous failure that can cause severe overheating. Our delete kit removes this weak point altogether, restoring full-time coolant flow and simplifying the cooling system. Machined from 6061 billet aluminum, it ensures optimal cooling performance and eliminates the risk of a failed shutoff valve taking out your engine.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-sh\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-ic\"\u003e\u003csvg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M3 3h18v2H3V3zm0 4h12v2H3V7zm0 4h18v2H3v-2zm0 4h12v2H3v-2zm0 4h18v2H3v-2z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-sh-title\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"tgk-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEngine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudi EA839 2.9T\/3.0T\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6061 Billet Aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFunction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoolant Shutoff Valve Delete\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirect Replacement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-sh\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-ic\"\u003e\u003csvg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M13 2L3 14h9l-1 8 10-12h-9l1-8z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-sh-title\"\u003eFeatures \u0026amp;
