OVERVIEW
Genuine Sealing Washer
The N-013-827-2 Genuine VW/Audi washer renews the sealing interface at the original connection specified for this part. Its seating dimensions must correspond to the matching plug or fitting; a ring with a similar appearance is not enough to establish interchangeability. This listing includes one individual sealing washer.
On the confirmed R8 4.2L applications, this washer seals the upper oil-pan plug. It is separate from the smaller lower oil-pan drain seal. Match the plug and parts-diagram position before opening the connection; renew the washer when the applicable service procedure calls for a new seal.
Technical Details
- Original part number: N-013-827-2.
- Inside diameter: 22 mm.
- Outside diameter: 27 mm.
- Function: sealing ring for the exact factory-specified seat.
- Quantity supplied: one washer; plugs, fittings and other components are separate.
The bore and outside diameter determine how the ring sits against the original sealing faces. A different seating diameter can leave an incomplete seal or prevent the fitting from seating correctly. Match the complete OEM number and the component currently installed rather than choosing by vehicle name alone.
Common Reasons to Replace
- The sealing connection has been opened during service.
- The original ring is compressed, distorted or visibly damaged.
- The washer is missing or the previous repair used the wrong size.
- Leakage has been traced to the matching sealing faces.
- The repair procedure calls for renewal of the sealing ring.
Inspect the complete connection before ordering a replacement seal. A new ring cannot correct damaged threads, a cracked housing, a distorted seat or an incorrect plug. Fluid near a joint may have traveled from another component.
Installation and Service Notes
Follow the repair instructions for the specific system being opened. Remove the original ring, inspect and clean the mating surfaces, and position the correct new washer against its designated seat. Confirm the required number of rings from the original parts diagram.
Tightening specifications belong to the exact plug or fitting. Do not infer a torque from the washer's diameter, overtighten to compensate for leakage or stack extra washers. Check the serviced connection according to the workshop procedure and restore any affected fluid level as specified.
This part is used in different locations across the cataloged vehicles. The table identifies confirmed vehicle profiles, while the original diagram identifies the sealing location. A replacement or modified assembly may require a different ring. Thickness, material composition and shipping weight are omitted because exact Genuine specifications have not been established.
