Detailed Description

This Elring 238.350 engine crankcase half gasket is an O-ring seal designed around exact dimensional requirements rather than generic sizing. The FPM material is suited to engine sealing environments where exposure to oil and elevated temperatures is common. For Audi A4, Audi A5 Quattro, Audi Q5, Audi TT Quattro, Audi Q7, Audi A6, and Volkswagen Touareg applications, correct diameter and profile are critical for maintaining a reliable seal at the crankcase half interface.

Compatible With 2008-2017 Audi A4, A4 Quattro, A4 allroad, A5, A5 Quattro, A6, A6 Quattro, Q5, Q7, TT, TT Quattro, allroad, and 2011-2017 Volkswagen Touareg applications listed in the fitment data. Elring 238.350 is a practical OE-replacement sealing component for service work where the original O-ring has hardened, flattened, or begun to leak.

What It Helps Address

• Oil seepage at the crankcase half sealing point
• Leaks caused by a flattened or aged O-ring
• Loss of sealing integrity after engine service
• Incorrect seal fit from non-matching dimensions
• Repeat repairs caused by worn crankcase sealing surfaces

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the inner diameter, outer diameter, height, and OE number before installation. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly and inspect the mating area for damage, scoring, or residue that could affect the seal. Use the exact application data for your Audi or Volkswagen engine, since several models share similar service parts but require the correct OE reference.
