'OE-quality' means the part is manufactured to meet or exceed the standards set by the original equipment manufacturer for performance, fit, and durability.
Each pack contains 25 seal rings.
It is strongly advised not to use these rings on vehicles not explicitly listed in the compatibility. Always verify measurements and specifications.
The seal ring is made of copper, chosen for its excellent sealing properties under high heat and pressure.
The seal ring has an inner diameter of 7.9mm, an outer diameter of 16.7mm, and a thickness of 2mm. It has a square shape.
Variations in injector designs exist even within the same vehicle model line. Verifying measurements ensures you receive a seal ring that will properly fit and seal your specific injector.
No, these are designed as single-use parts. They should be replaced every time an injector is removed from the engine.
Verify the seal ring was correctly seated and is the correct size for the application. Ensure the injector seat in the cylinder head is clean and free from damage. Reinstall the injector ensuring proper torque settings.
Check that all injectors are properly reconnected and secured. Inspect the seal ring for any defects or improper seating. Ensure no debris entered the fuel system during installation.
A poor seal can lead to fuel pressure loss. Re-check the integrity of the seal ring and its seating. Ensure no other engine faults are present.
Compatibility Verification: Before purchasing, it is essential to verify fitment and measurements against your specific vehicle's specifications. Check that your vehicle's make, model, year, engine type, and variant align with the compatibility list provided. Pay close attention to the inner diameter (7.9mm), outer diameter (16.7mm), thickness (2mm), and shape (square).
Setup: This seal ring is designed for installation onto common rail injectors. Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with diesel fuel injection systems. Ensure the injector seat and the injector tip are clean before fitting the new seal ring. Proper seating is crucial for its sealing function.
Care: As a consumable part of the injector system, these seal rings are not designed for reuse after removal. Once an injector is removed, the seal ring should always be replaced. Keep unused rings in their original packaging in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination.
