Elring 852.590 Engine Crankcase Breather Gasket

Elring Crankcase Breather Gasket for VW and Audi

Elring 852.590 is an engine crankcase breather gasket made from FPM (fluoride rubber) for sealing the breather assembly in select Audi, Volkswagen, and Porsche applications. It is built for vehicles that need a precise sealing surface to maintain crankcase ventilation integrity and reduce oil seepage at the breather housing.

Fits a wide range of models, including Audi A3, A4, A5, A6, Q3, Q5, Q7, TT, and Volkswagen GTI, Tiguan, Golf, Arteon, and Jetta applications. Part number 852.590 is also cross-referenced with 06K 103 484 F and 958 103 484 00 for the same application.

Key Features

• Engine crankcase breather gasket for emission control sealing applications
• FPM (fluoride rubber) material for resistance to heat and oil exposure
• Elring OE-style sealing component for precise fitment
• Fits select Audi, Volkswagen, and Porsche models across multiple model years
• Part number 852.590 for easy identification and ordering

Detailed Description

Elring 852.590 is a crankcase breather gasket used to seal the breather assembly where crankcase ventilation components meet the engine. The FPM (fluoride rubber) construction is suited to the elevated temperatures and oil vapor exposure common in modern turbocharged and direct-injection engines. This gasket supports a tight seal at the breather housing, helping maintain proper crankcase ventilation performance on vehicles such as the Audi A4, Audi Q5, Volkswagen GTI, and Volkswagen Tiguan.

This part cross-references 06K 103 484 F and 958 103 484 00 for the same application. Use 852.590 when replacing a worn or leaking breather gasket on supported Audi, Volkswagen, and Porsche platforms.

What It Is Used For

• Oil seepage at the crankcase breather housing
• Vacuum leaks related to breather sealing surfaces
• Crankcase ventilation leaks that can trigger drivability concerns
• Degraded gasket material from heat and oil exposure
• Service replacement during breather assembly repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the breather housing and mating surfaces before installation. Remove all old gasket material, oil residue, and debris so the new seal can seat evenly. Confirm the part number and vehicle application against the original component before assembly, especially on Audi A3, A4, Q3, Q5, and Volkswagen Golf, GTI, and Tiguan models.

Quality Assurance

Elring is a recognized sealing-system manufacturer with OE-focused engineering for engine sealing applications. The FPM material specification supports durability in crankcase ventilation service conditions.
