Product Overview

Part Number: 11667566483
Compatibility: Designed for BMW engines (specific models may vary; verify fitment).
Function: Seals the vacuum pump to prevent oil leaks and maintain engine vacuum pressure.

Key Attributes

1. Precision Fit – Engineered to match OEM specifications for BMW vacuum pumps.

2. Durability – Resists wear, heat, and chemical exposure from engine oil.

3. Sealing Performance – Ensures no air/oil leakage between the pump and engine block.

Material

• High-Quality Rubber or Viton® (Fluoroelastomer):

  • Resistant to high temperatures (up to 200°C/392°F).

  • Immune to degradation from engine oils, fuels, and coolants.

  • Flexible yet durable for long-term compression.

Working Principle

The gasket sits between the vacuum pump and the engine block, creating an airtight seal. This:

1. Maintains vacuum pressure for brake boosters/emission systems.

2. Prevents oil from leaking into the vacuum system.

3. Reduces friction and vibration between metal components.

Advantages

✔ OEM Equivalent – Meets BMW’s original standards.
✔ Leak Prevention – Critical for engine efficiency and emissions compliance.
✔ Easy Installation – Replaces worn-out gaskets during maintenance.
✔ Cost-Effective – Avoids expensive pump repairs due to seal failure.
