Review on πŸ”§ Enhance Performance with RKX 2.0T Vacuum Pump Reseal/Rebuild Kit for VW & Audi 2.0T MKv, B6, 8P, B7 – Includes Compatible Gasket by Michael Briggs

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Needed a new pump after buying this kit!

But seriously, after removing the pump I found the previous one. Mechanic. broke the mounting ear and smeared it with silicone to hide his sin. However, the new O-rings fit great and keep them sealed. All old ones had severe compression set; The one on the nipple valve leaked heavily. Even though it's expensive I'll take it as a value for someone else to find out the size and material, it's worth it. Parting lines were visible on the rings, but I don't expect any problems. However, I made sure that the rings were not twisted after installation so that the parting line was straight. In terms of quality, this is the only thing I noticed as a defect. The cable diameter was just right or maybe a bit too big, which is good. An improvement to the kit would have been the inclusion of a spare hose clamp. My pump has clocked up 200,000 miles and nothing inside has even remotely worn out. Unless your mechanic broke it for you, I see no reason why you wouldn't just seal your old one.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Interval
