OVERVIEW
Genuine Fluid Connection Sealing Washer
The N-013-812-8 Genuine VW/Audi sealing washer renews the seal at the matched original fluid connection on the applications listed below. It is a small service part with a specific seating diameter and sealing function. This listing supplies one washer; plugs, banjo bolts, hoses and other components are separate.
Technical Details
- OEM part number: N-013-812-8.
- Catalog size: 12 × 15.5 mm; inside and outside diameter designation.
- Application: matched original fluid connection.
- Quantity supplied: one individual sealing washer.
- Match the complete part number, original fitting and application restrictions before ordering.
The washer seals at the mating faces when the correct fastener or plug is tightened according to the workshop procedure. A washer with a similar appearance but a different bore, outside diameter or sealing profile may not sit correctly. No material composition, hardness, thickness or shipping weight is assigned without a confirmed specification for the exact Genuine part.
Common Reasons to Replace
- The original seal has been compressed during previous service.
- The washer is missing, split, scored, distorted or damaged.
- Fluid leakage has been traced to the matching sealing faces.
- A previous repair used a washer of the wrong size or stacked multiple seals.
- The applicable workshop procedure calls for a new sealing ring after the connection is opened.
Turbocharger or line service can disturb fluid connections sealed by these washers. Inspect each connection that is opened and select the seal specified for that location. Oil or coolant found near a turbocharger does not establish that this washer is the cause; check the line, fitting, hose and surrounding components before ordering.
Installation and Service Notes
Clean the sealing faces, inspect the mating components and place the correct washer squarely against the designated seat. Use the vehicle-specific tightening specification. Do not compensate for leakage by overtightening or adding extra washers; inspect the original connection and resolve the cause.
A banjo connection may require a seal on each side of the fitting, but the quantity and layout must follow the original diagram for the line being serviced. This listing supplies one seal, not a complete line repair kit. Restore the correct fluid level and inspect the serviced joint for leakage according to the workshop procedure.
Vehicle Fitment
