Description

VAG 1.6 MPI EA211 CWVA / CWVB Complete Cylinder Head Assembly – Valves & Camshaft Pre-Installed

This VAG 1.6 MPI EA211 cylinder head — OE reference 04E103065H — is a brand new casting, machined to OEM tolerances and supplied as an assembled head with 16 valves, springs, retainers, stem seals, guides, hydraulic lifters and camshaft fitted. For a workshop doing a 1.6 MPI head replacement, that removes the most time-consuming part of the job — lapping 16 valves, setting installed heights and torquing the camshaft caps — and lets you move straight to transferring injectors, manifolds and timing components.

Why These Heads Fail

The 1.6 MPI is a robust engine, but the head is where high-mileage and abuse-related failures appear:

  • Overheating damage — cracking, warping and valve seat damage after coolant loss or a failed thermostat/water pump. The OE 04E103065H head is specifically noted as vulnerable to overheating, cavitation and cracking [reference:13]
  • Valve guide wear — oil consumption and blue smoke on startup. Valve guide wear is a commonly reported issue on CWVA/CWVB engines [reference:14]
  • Valve seat recession — compression loss and misfires
  • Warping from a failed head gasket or low-coolant event
  • Camshaft lobe and hydraulic lifter wear — especially on stretched oil change intervals
  • Timing belt failure — belt snapping or tooth stripping causes valve-to-piston contact and bent valves [reference:15]
  • Spark plug thread damage from over-torquing or cross-threading

Once an EA211 1.6 MPI head has been resurfaced past minimum thickness it cannot be reliably saved. This complete cylinder head assembly restores the top end to factory condition without the turnaround time of a rebuild.

What’s Included – Fitted to the Head

  • Cylinder head casting — new aluminium alloy, pressure-tested and flatness-checked
  • 16 valves — 4 per cylinder, intake and exhaust, heat-resistant
  • Valve springs, spring seats and retainers
  • Valve stem seals — fitted
  • Valve guides — pressed in
  • Camshaft — SOHC, single camshaft, hydraulic lifter configuration
  • Hydraulic lifters / tappets — pre-installed
  • Camshaft bearing caps and bolts — torqued to specification
  • Core plugs and oil gallery plugs — installed
  • Valve seats — machined and sealing-checked

Vehicle Compatibility

Fitted to a wide range of VW Group models running the CWVA or CWVB 1.6 MPI EA211 engine. Always confirm your engine code and OE number before ordering — the 1.6 petrol was built in EA111 and EA211 forms with heads that are not interchangeable.
