🔧 RKX 2.5L Vacuum Pump Rebuild/Seal Kit for Volkswagen VW 2.5L Jetta, Beetle, Passat, Rabbit, Golf - High Quality Replacement Review

Has not been repaired for a long time but I can say I was impressed with the quality of this kit. Torque ratings for the canopy were also a great touch. Had to do this pump job on both my wife's 2.5 and my own. We replaced the pump on her car and I decided to restore the pump on mine. The work was about the same, except for the difference between working with a gearbox and an automatic transmission. When you consider how easy it is to use and how much this kit saves you (about $300 for the…

Last weekend I used this kit to fix a leaking vacuum pump on my stepdaughter's 2013 Passat. Went like clockwork. Apparently everything matched the original seals that were removed from the factory pump exactly and went on easily with no problems. And best of all, it saved me a ton of money - my local VW dealership charged $1,200 for a "proper" repair, removing the transmission from the engine and replacing the entire pump.

2.5 liter vacuum pump rebuild kit (gasket) saves a lot of money compared to official VW approaches/prices.

A few hints/tips for those who want to try this solution * You need a MIRROR (or mini inspection camera)! Many of the bolts you are working with are "under/behind/not…

Only time will tell but I was certainly glad to find an RKX vacuum pump gasket replacement kit for a 2.5 liter VW engine! This seems like all there is to fixing an oil leak in a vacuum pump to me, and it's definitely worth trying instead of replacing the $200+ VW recommended pump. The pump itself is a little tricky to remove and reinstall, but that's not a big deal if the car has a manual transmission. There is a little more work to be done on the automatic but someone figured out how to do it…

Volkswagen makes great products but often curses them with poorly designed components. The vacuum pump is one such part. Designed with a mediocre seal which would be unethical to offer parts to repair separately. But no. VW insists you buy a brand new $300 pump when all you need are two rubber grommets and a gasket. Finally someone found the necessary parts and put them into this wonderful and affordable kit. The large orange seal that usually fails looks the same as the OEM. The metal gasket…
