VR6 O ring size

[partwerks]

On my 1999 VR6, on the DS, front, on the crack pipe, there are 3 sensors it appears, and the one closest to the DS is seeping antifreeze. Anyone know what size O ring it is, or maybe if I take it off, and put back on, maybe it will reseal?

It will not reseal, unless you use copious amounts of sealant. The sensor seal is readily available at any VW or Audi dealer, or almost any parts store as these O-rings are used on almost every water cooled VW from 1988 to present.

Use dealer ones if possible as the aftermarket ones seem to be made from some organic gelatin & turn to goo within a few months.

GOFUNDYOURSELF, quit asking everyone to do it for you!


An air cooled VW will make you a hoarder.


Do something, anything, to your project every day, and you will eventually complete it.

This sound right, and a good place to get them from?

Yes, that looks like the right one, autohouseaz is a good company to order from. If you have a vw dealer nearby, I would just go get one there, probably cheaper once you add shipping...
