Elring 697.220 Turbocharger Inlet Hose Gasket

Turbocharger Inlet Hose Gasket for VW and Audi

Elring 697.220 is a turbocharger inlet hose gasket built for a precise seal at the turbo inlet connection. It uses FPM (fluoride rubber) and a 43.95 mm inner diameter to help maintain consistent sealing on select Audi and Volkswagen turbocharged engines.

Compatible with applications such as Audi A3, Audi A4, Audi TT, Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Beetle, and Volkswagen Passat, this gasket supports reliable sealing where intake and boost-related leaks can affect drivability. Elring 697.220 is a direct-fit sealing component for service work on the turbo inlet hose connection.

Key Features

• Turbocharger inlet hose gasket for sealed intake-side connections
• 43.95 mm inner diameter for the specified application
• FPM (fluoride rubber) construction for sealing performance in elevated heat and oil-exposed environments
• OE-style fitment for select Audi and Volkswagen models
• Elring 697.220 part number for accurate ordering and replacement

Detailed Description

This Elring gasket is used at the turbocharger inlet hose connection to help maintain a tight seal between mating components. The FPM material is selected for its sealing characteristics in engine environments where temperature, oil vapor, and airflow demand stable gasket performance. For Audi A3, Audi TT, Audi A4, and Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, Beetle, and Passat applications, the correct seal helps preserve intake tract integrity and supports consistent engine operation. If you are replacing a worn turbo inlet hose gasket, Elring 697.220 provides the specified dimensions and material for the listed vehicles.

This part cross-references 1J0 145 117 and 3C0 145 117 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Air leaks at the turbocharger inlet hose connection
• Loss of sealing from a flattened, hardened, or damaged gasket
• Unstable intake tract sealing during turbocharger service
• Oil vapor seepage at the inlet hose joint
• Fitment issues when replacing the original sealing ring on listed VW and Audi models

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the part number and measure the mating diameter before installation. Clean both sealing surfaces thoroughly so the new gasket seats evenly, and inspect the inlet hose and turbo connection for wear, distortion, or residue that could affect the seal. Verify vehicle application by year, make, and model before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Elring is known for engine sealing components used in demanding automotive service environments. Part number 697.220 is manufactured as a dedicated sealing solution for the listed turbocharger inlet hose applications.
