The gasket is made from NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber), which is known for its durability and resistance to automotive fluids and heat.
It has an inner diameter of 19.5 mm and a thickness of 3.5 mm.
It is compatible with various models from Audi, Ford, Renault, Seat, Skoda, and VW, with specific OEM numbers provided for verification.
Each package contains 20 coolant flange gaskets.
Yes, if you have basic automotive mechanical skills and the necessary tools. However, if you are unsure, professional installation is recommended to ensure a proper seal and prevent potential damage.
Its primary function is to create a seal between the coolant flange and the engine block, preventing coolant from leaking out of the engine's cooling system.
You should compare the OEM part numbers listed in the product information (N 903 168 01, 037 121 133 A, etc.) with the part number on your existing gasket or consult your vehicle's service manual or a trusted parts dealer.
Ensure the mating surfaces on the flange and engine block are perfectly clean and free of debris. Verify the gasket is seated correctly and not pinched. Check if the coolant flange itself is warped or damaged, which may require replacement of the flange.
Double-check that you have ordered the correct part number (12409) and that it is compatible with your specific vehicle model and year. Ensure no foreign material is obstructing the fit.
While this gasket is designed to prevent leaks, overheating can be caused by various factors. Ensure the cooling system is properly filled with the correct coolant mixture, that the thermostat is functioning, and that the radiator is not blocked.
Setup: Installation requires draining the engine's coolant, removing the old gasket, cleaning the mating surfaces of the flange and engine block thoroughly, and then fitting the new gasket. Ensure the gasket is seated correctly and evenly before reassembling the coolant flange. Torque specifications for the flange bolts should be followed according to the vehicle manufacturer's service manual.
Compatibility: This gasket is a direct replacement for the OEM part number: N 903 168 01 (AUDI, VW), 037 121 133 A (AUDI), 7 198 663 (FORD), 60 01 545 352 (RENAULT), 062 121 119 G (SEAT). Always verify fitment with your specific vehicle's make, model, year, and engine code before purchasing.
Care: As a non-serviceable part once installed, its longevity depends on correct installation and the overall health of the cooling system. Regular coolant system checks for leaks and proper coolant levels are recommended.
