OVERVIEW
Factory sealing washer for the original connection
N-013-814-2 is the Genuine VW/Audi sealing washer with the factory 14x18 designation. It is assigned to the original connection positions on the verified applications below.
A sealing washer works between the specified fitting surfaces to close the joint. Correct size, original part specification and clean undamaged sealing faces matter; a visually similar washer is not automatically suitable for the connection.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: N-013-814-2.
- Factory specification: 14 × 18 factory sealing-washer designation.
- Design: flat annular sealing washer.
- Quantity supplied: one individual sealing washer.
This individual washer is separate from the fitting, line, filter and other connection hardware. The factory 14x18 designation identifies the washer size; no unconfirmed thickness or material grade is specified here.
Common reasons to replace
- The connection is opened during service and requires a fresh seal.
- Inspection identifies a damaged or deformed original sealing washer.
- A leak is traced to the washer after the fitting and sealing faces are checked.
- The correct original sealing washer is missing.
Inspect the mating fitting and sealing faces before replacing the washer. A cracked line, damaged thread or distorted fitting requires separate repair. A new washer should not be used to compensate for a damaged connection.
Vehicle fitment
Use only at the factory connection assigned to N0138142 on the listed vehicle. Match the original fitting and hardware rather than selecting a seal solely by vehicle model.

Installation guidance
Follow the vehicle-specific fuel-system depressurization and connection service procedure. Work with the system cool, keep ignition sources away, protect open lines from contamination and install the correct fresh washer arrangement. Apply the prescribed fitting torque.
Carry out the specified leak check before operating the vehicle. If leakage remains, stop and diagnose the fitting, seal position and mating surfaces.
