Required Quantity: Two gaskets are required for the heat exchanger assembly

This gasket forms part of the engine oil cooler, also described as the heat exchanger, and its connection to the oil filter console or oil-conducting housing. The cooler manages heat in the lubrication system, while the gasket seals the joint where the components meet. Its sealing action depends on correct seating and the condition of the adjoining surfaces. It is relevant to a localised cooler-joint repair as well as work that requires the heat exchanger to be removed.

What Does This Part Do?

• Seals the cooler joint: Forms a sealing interface between the heat exchanger and its adjoining housing.
• Helps contain fluid: Limits leakage through the connection when correctly installed against sound mating surfaces.
• Completes the sealing assembly: Works with the housing, cooler and fixings to maintain the joint during engine operation.
  
  

Why Replace This Part?

A gasket that has deteriorated, become distorted or suffered damage during removal may no longer seal its joint correctly. Replacement is appropriate when inspection confirms leakage from this connection or shows that the existing gasket cannot be refitted in serviceable condition. Wetness nearby should be traced carefully, because fluid from another seal or housing can collect around the cooler.

During dismantling, inspect the cooler, housing, sealing recesses and fixings as well as the gasket. A new seal cannot compensate for a cracked housing, damaged mating face or incorrectly assembled joint. OE Match supplies replacement parts focused on Porsche applications; selecting the correct gasket version remains important to the repair.

When to Replace This Part?

• Confirmed joint leakage: Fresh seepage returns at the heat exchanger connection after the area has been cleaned and inspected.
• Visible damage: The removed gasket has cuts, splits, distortion or damaged sealing edges.
• Poor seating: The gasket no longer sits correctly in its intended position.
• Removal damage: Dismantling has damaged the gasket or left it unsuitable for reuse under the applicable workshop procedure.
• Repeated leakage: Inspect the mating surfaces and complete assembly before fitting another gasket.
  
  

Where Is This Part Fitted?

Location: At the engine-mounted oil heat exchanger connection within the oil filter console or oil-conducting housing assembly. Access and the surrounding components differ between the listed engines.

  FAQs

• Does leakage around the cooler mean the cooler needs replacing?
  Not necessarily. Inspect the gasket joint, adjoining housing and nearby seals to establish the source before choosing replacement parts.
• Will this gasket resolve high oil temperature?
  High oil temperature alone does not identify a gasket fault. Check fluid levels and investigate the cooling and lubrication systems rather than assuming this seal is responsible.
• What should be checked when fitting it?
  Check the mating surfaces, sealing recesses and fixings, and follow the engine-specific installation procedure. Investigate any housing damage before reassembly.
