VW CALIFORNIA T5 Camper 2007.05-2009.11 2.5 TDI (96KW,130PS) AXD AXE BAC BLJ BLK BNZ BPC BPD BPE Cylinder Head Assy for VW Touareg 908712 – OEM 908712

Product Overview: This complete cylinder head assembly is manufactured for the Volkswagen 2.5-litre TDI diesel engines in the AXD, AXE, BAC, BLJ, BLK, BNZ, BPC, BPD and BPE family, the powerplants fitted to the Transporter T5, California T5 and Touareg. It is supplied fully assembled with valves, guides and seats installed and is machined to original equipment tolerances, providing a dependable replacement for a warped, cracked or valve-damaged original head.

Key Features: The casting is produced from high-grade material and CNC-machined for accurate deck flatness, correct valve seat concentricity and matched combustion chamber volume. Valve guides and seats are pre-installed and honed for even sealing and balanced compression across all cylinders, and the cam carrier surfaces are finished to maintain correct bearing clearance. Injector bores and glow plug threads are precisely machined for correct diesel component fitment, while reinforced casting around the valve bridge and fire deck improves durability under turbo-diesel cylinder pressures.

Vehicle Compatibility: This head fits Volkswagen California T5 Camper 2.5 TDI and 2.5 TDI 4motion (2007-2009, 96-128 kW / 130-174 PS), Transporter T5 Caravelle, flatbed and chassis variants and related Touareg applications that use the AXD, AXE, BAC, BLJ, BLK, BNZ, BPC, BPD or BPE engine. Confirm the engine code and OE reference before ordering.

Applications: Suitable for vans, campers, buses, light commercial vehicles and SUVs, covering everyday repairs, engine rebuilds, workshop overhauls and fleet maintenance requiring a factory-specification diesel head.

Benefits / Replacement Information: Fitting this assembly restores compression, corrects coolant and combustion leakage caused by cracks or distortion, and removes the cost and delay of reconditioning the original casting. A complete unit ensures matched valve and seat geometry for dependable long-term sealing.

Installation or Fitment Notes: Installation should be carried out by a qualified technician. Clean and check the block deck for flatness, fit a new head gasket and new head bolts where specified, and torque in the correct sequence to the manufacturer's specification. Verify valve clearances and injection timing after assembly, then pressure test and bleed the cooling system before road use.
