OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi WHT-006-990-A is an individual sealing ring for the assigned turbocharger oil-feed line connection. It renews the original seal during oil-line or turbocharger service on the confirmed engine configurations below.
Technical details and what is included
- Factory part number: WHT-006-990-A / WHT006990A.
- Component: turbocharger oil-feed sealing ring.
- Factory nominal seal designation: 7.59 × 2.62 mm.
- Quantity supplied: one individual ring.
- Verified earlier reference: WHT-006-990 where the A-suffix ring is assigned as the forward replacement.
- The archive photograph shows the individual ring and its central sealing opening.
Match the A suffix, original oil-feed tube and specified sealing joint. The turbocharger has separate oil-feed, oil-return and coolant connections, and their seals must be selected by exact part assignment. This small ring is not a complete oil-line repair kit.
Common reasons to replace
- The original ring is damaged when the connection is opened.
- A cut, pinched or deformed seal cannot seat correctly.
- Inspection identifies deterioration at the assigned oil-feed seal.
- Oil leakage is traced to this specific joint.
- The factory procedure requires a new ring during line or turbocharger service.
Inspect the line, seal groove and mating connection before installation. A damaged pipe, incorrect fitting or another leaking joint requires separate repair. Replacing the ring alone does not resolve a restricted oil line or diagnose a turbocharger problem.

Installation and service guidance
Follow the factory procedure for the installed engine and oil-feed tube. Allow the engine and exhaust to cool and complete the specified preparation before opening the connection.
Remove the old seal without damaging the groove or fitting. Inspect and clean the sealing surfaces using the approved method, and use the specified assembly lubrication where required. Install the ring without twisting, overstretching or pinching it.
Replace other seals and fastening hardware when the procedure requires them. Follow the prescribed tightening sequence and torque for the connection, then complete the required oil-level and leak checks.
Use the exact repair information for any additional turbocharger checks after line service. This listing provides one sealing ring; the oil-feed tube, turbocharger, return seal, coolant seals and engine oil are separate.
