Cylinder head for Volkswagen AXD

The cylinder head 0701036267AX mounts to the top of the engine block to form the upper boundary of the combustion chambers. It houses the intake and exhaust valves, valve seats, and valve guides, while also providing mounting points for fuel injectors and glow plugs. This component manages the intake of air and fuel into the cylinders and facilitates the evacuation of exhaust gases during engine operation.

This part is compatible with Volkswagen AXD, AXD LEVAS/WITH, and BNZ LEVAS/WITH engine configurations. It features internal passages designed for the circulation of coolant and engine oil to assist in thermal management during operation.

A cylinder head acts as the primary seal for the combustion process, maintaining the necessary compression pressures within the cylinders. By housing the valve train and managing fluid flow, it ensures the engine maintains its operational cycle. Proper installation is required to maintain a hermetic seal against the engine block, which prevents compression leaks and fluid contamination.
