Vent Hose / Engine Cooling System Tube – 4K0121109AQ
Original cooling system vent hose (thin overflow tube / coolant vent line to the expansion tank), designed for Audi A7 Sportback (4K / 4K8 generation) and Audi A6 C8 (4K2 / 4K5 / 4KA type) with 3.0 V6 TFSI (55 TFSI designation / EA839 family / DLZA, DKMB and related codes) turbocharged petrol engines based on the modular MLBevo longitudinal platform.
Original VAG cooling system component. Made of specialized hot-pressed polyamide (PA) plastic with enhanced resistance to high temperatures in the inline engine compartment, continuous operating pressure, and direct contact with coolant glycol (G12evo / G13 fluid). It is responsible for continuously venting air bubbles and excess steam pressure from critical areas of the cooling system to the expansion tank, eliminating the risk of steam-air locks in the cylinder heads and protecting the power unit from overheating.

Fitment guarantee and VIN verification
Every hose undergoes a pressure test for leak-tightness and flow, as well as an inspection of the quick-connector sockets before shipping.
Fitment / installation note: The 109 vent hose group has a strictly defined routing geometry in the engine compartment above the front strut tower. The original OEM hose ensures precise engagement with the factory clips and mounting combs without stressing the expansion tank ports. Before purchase, we recommend comparing the full OE number with the index (AQ) on the sticker of the old tube or verifying fitment using the vehicle's VIN.
