Quality and fit OEM

The fit and quality of these seals is every bit as good as OEM. Installing the inner seal requires a higher level of skill.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

OE quality engine gasket kits

Great fit, OE quality. Used this kit on my mom's 2010 Saab 9-3T. Fixed oil leak, very happy with all RKX products I have purchased so far.

Pros
  • Great fit for me
Cons
  • Wait too long

Common solution to leaks 9-3

The product is a good upgrade/replacement for original O-rings. Replacing is quite easy, the originals were fragile and broke when removed.

Pros
  • Good job
Cons
  • Nothing

Good cheap gasket kit

Great gasket kit. Does exactly what it should. There are no more leaks. The question of installation is somewhat artificial here, since it is more or less difficult depending on the vehicle.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Nothing here

Difficult to install. But it doesn't work perfectly.

Saab does not sell this part because this pump is really not that easy to repair. Be careful and watch out. Small parts fall out when the pump is opened. Not for the inexperienced DIYer, take this part to your mechanic or buy a new pump.

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • Generally good but...

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Seems to work fine, the size of the round spacer doesn't fit.

The gasket between the block and the vacuum pump is ideal, but the round gasket that should be in the vacuum pump is too wide and thick. Installation instructions and tightening torques would also be nice.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • You can hurt yourself

Cheaper than a new pump and it works!

Seems to be working great, no leaks after a few weeks. After I disassembled the pump, it turned out that the seal was completely destroyed. It took less than an hour to recover and so far so good! The inner gasket was important, I could see where it was leaking through the old gasket. Just swapping the external one doesn't help.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Not all will fit

So far, so good. Gaskets/seals/O-rings appear to be of excellent quality

Perfect for my 2004 Saab 9-3 Arc Convertible. Time will tell if it will hold up. I was half tempted to simply replace the vacuum pump due to its age but decided to try that first. My symptom was an incessant oil leak from the back of the driver's side engine that dripped onto the top of the transmission. I replaced the valve cover gasket first as I've seen people with this issue due to turbine heating in that area. But the leak persisted, and it turned out to be the vacuum pump. So far, so…

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
