03C103157B Volkswagen oil spray

These little guys take the oil from your engine’s oil pump and spray it specifically onto the underside of your pistons. It’s a pretty targeted spray, not just oil splashing around everywhere. They have a small nozzle opening, so it creates a fine mist. Some have multiple nozzles, depending on the engine design. They’re usually just a simple metal piece with a tiny hole or holes in it. Think of your pistons as constantly moving up and down inside the engine. That movement creates a lot of friction, and friction makes heat. The oil spray’s job is to cool those pistons down. The oil doesn’t just lubricate; it also takes heat away from the piston crown. They’re part of the overall engine lubrication and cooling system, working alongside the oil pump, oil filter, and oil pan. Without proper piston cooling, you’ll get excessive heat buildup. That leads to all sorts of problems - piston damage, cylinder wall scoring, even engine failure eventually. It acts like a shield against that heat. You’ll notice if these start to fail gradually – maybe a little more engine knock, or a loss of power. If one completely clogs, you'll definitely notice a serious issue. Honestly, they’re a relatively inexpensive part to replace and can save you a lot of money and headache in the long run. You can find a good selection of them at places like Fixparts Online, and they're usually pretty straightforward to install when you’re already doing other engine work. They're not something you'd replace routinely, usually only when rebuilding or inspecting the engine. Competitive edge: Oil Spray (MPN 03C103157B) includes a 12-month warranty!
