Detailed Description

Elring 916.170 is a fuel pump seal used in the fuel delivery system to help maintain a proper seal at the pump assembly inside the fuel tank. By sealing the pump where it fits together with the tank, this component supports stable fuel pressure and consistent fuel flow in the vehicle’s fuel system. The FPM rubber construction is suited to fuel-system environments where sealing performance matters.

This part cross-references OE-style applications such as 1J0 919 133 B and 955 201 133 00 for the same application. It is listed for many Audi, Volkswagen, and Porsche models, including Fits 2003-2020 Audi A3, N/A; Fits 2006-2019 Volkswagen Beetle, N/A; and Fits 2008-2024 Porsche Cayenne, N/A.

Common Uses

• Fuel odor or seepage at the in-tank pump seal
• Loss of sealing at the fuel pump-to-tank interface
• Service replacement during fuel pump maintenance
• Restoring fuel system sealing after pump removal
• Addressing worn or hardened fuel pump seal material

Installation Notes

Install the seal at the fuel tank position and confirm the fuel pump is seated correctly before closing the assembly. Verify the 113 mm inner diameter and application match before installation, and inspect the sealing surface for damage, debris, or distortion. Use clean handling practices to avoid contaminating the fuel system.

Quality Assurance

Elring is a recognized name in engine and sealing components, and this fuel pump seal is built for fuel-system service where dimensional accuracy and material compatibility are important. Confirm fitment against the vehicle listing and OE reference before installation.
