ILLusive

ordered these parts since I'm seeing the same type of leak. Thanks Michael!

I also ordered the parts, the weird I found in my 2005 Audi A6, 3.2L Quattro BKH, there is only o-ring. There was no 3-leg gasket. But this gasket lines up exactly and seems to be ab exact fit. I do remember back in 2009 the Audi dealer had replaced this gasket.
So, am I suppose to put the gasket and the o-ring when I put it back together?
Any gurus out there?

Also, the Bentley manual shows only replacement of o-ring, for this year 2005 Audi A6, 3.2L quattro BKH engine

I had both parts on mine.

FYI you do NOT need to use a lot of force to get the pump back in. If it doesn't want to go back in, you don't have the pump lined up properly.

Ok, thks, Milan.
I did install both the gasket and o-ring.
and was quite easy to do this.
Looks like the leak has stopped.

Do you happen to have the exact part number - the dealer is not sure themselves
Thanks

conitssap

ok found the part #'s myself

06D145117 - o ring

I replaced both, but after a while it was still leaking.
The pump had an internal leak, so I bought a new pump
which only had o-ring and no more oil leaks
