The kit contains precisely molded seals and all necessary gaskets to rebuild the pump’s sealing surfaces. RKX uses high-performance fluorocarbon (Viton) materials and double-lip technology on the primary seals to resist heat, oil exposure, and wear common in these engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow will this kit stop oil leaks from my VW 2.5L vacuum pump?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RKX kit replaces worn or hardened pump gaskets and seals that allow oil to migrate out of the pump housing. The included Viton seals maintain elasticity at high temperatures and restore proper sealing contact. Replacing the seals removes the most common source of oil leaks without machining or expensive parts replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-lip Viton pump seal to block oil and retain vacuum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll mating gaskets for housing and cover to prevent seepage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrecision injection-molded components for consistent fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLifetime limited warranty on gaskets for long-term confidence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich vehicles and pumps are compatible with the RKX 2.5L rebuild kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rebuild kit is designed for Volkswagen and selected Audi models featuring the 2.5L inline-five engine vacuum pump configuration.
