Is this enough to stop leakage? I red that only way for sure to stop it from leaking is to add second crush gasket seal like RKX brand "life time" seal kit. cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1489/0528/products/New3.2logoLIFETIME_1024x1024.jpg?v=1617115943 The problem is i can't find any Europe and shipping from US is too expensive.
Great video, fantastic tutorial. My wife's TT has small leak from here. Is it possible it could be just from the cover plate? Just wondered if worth replacing just that seal first. Thanks
Yes it could just be the cover, it can be hard to tell exactly though. You should be able to replace the seal for the cover without removing the pump from the engine.
Hi there Steve was it the cover in the end. I have a audi tt and my vacuum pump cover is very oily and wet. Thinking it is leaking and is causing low oil pressure light
@@cruiseedwards4657 sorry, sold car as it was, but never caused low oil pressure light, it was slightly weeping from the bottom onto plastic wiring cover. An Audi garage actually said rocker cover gasket was leaking a bit, & could be dropping down there. If you have low oil pressure I would think it would be more than just a leak in that area.
Were there any other symptoms of the problem, apart from oil leaking. I am getting rough idle reviving up and down and there is also some oil around the pump...
Is there supposed to be oil inside the pump and coming out , I did a boost leak test and there is problem with the brake booster check valve but also noticed the air was pushing oil out of the vacuum pump

@@justas5991 It worked for us. We haven't used the other kit so cannot comment on that particular one.
When I get a new gasket, do I have to use new cover screws? Can I leave the old one?
Appreciate you for posting up this video, found oil around it and the HPFP. Only thing I can think of is a vacuum leak.
Nice video. Just did mine on my '08 B7 A4. Wouldn't recommended lubing the rings with oil though. I just left them alone and installed with no issues.
Great video
Nice tutorial! Could a leak from the vacuum pump be generating false air entrance and hence generating fault codes on VCDS?

Glad it helped!

Not on the vehicle we had, it was just the oil leak.
@@SelectVehicleSpares Thanks
Thanks mate
Hello, do you have a torque specification for the bolts on the cover please ?
Does anybody know where the second hose is connected to
The one that he unplugged is connected to the pump but where is the other connected to?
Is there supposed to be oil inside the pump and coming out , I did a boost leak test and there is problem with the brake booster check valve but also noticed the air was pushing oil out of the vacuum pump
There should be oil inside the pump yes, but it shouldn't be coming out of the pump.
When I get a new gasket, do I have to use new cover screws? Can I leave the old one?
We used the old fittings when replacing the gasket.
Can check it vcds how i now if it leak ?
can you tell me the seal numbers or any dimensions
great video what did you use to clean the vacuum pump?
We used brake cleaner and a soft cloth to clean it.
Where can I find the hose connector? That one you pryed? I tried to search all part numbers and can't find it.
As far as we know, this isn't listed as a separate part, and is included with the pump assembly.
Could you supply the P/N for the O-rings please. Thanks1
VAG do not supply a seal kit, the one we fitted is an aftermarket kit, available online for around £15 (ours was from ebay).
Hi, thanks for the video. Do you know of this also goes on the golf mk5 2.0 fsi (without turbo) ? I cant find the vacuum pump on my car.
No full gasket required like the 2.5L?
On my 3.2 audi A6 there's a gasket between vacuum pump and engine ?
Where can I order the seals at?
We ordered ours from a seller on ebay UK.
@@SelectVehicleSpares Can you please provide a link for the seals/ what exactly should we search to get them?
@@oncaboy The seal kit we ordered was ebay item number: 303576412234
can you tell me the seal numbers or any dimensions
