Big water leak, Supercharger Bracket

[BeavisJem 0]

Hi guys, I am really stuck. My car has started to lose a lot of water, I initially thought it was the pipes leading to the oil filter housing as these looked like they were furred up with a coolant beard :D So i took the pipes off and cleaned them up and replace the pipes, put the car back together and water started to come out.

 

I have had the right hand supercharger bracket off and realised there is a water way behind and there is an o-ring..........I went to VW and they have discontinued this o-ring and. So they gave me the dimensions of the o-ring (26.5 mm by 2 mm)

 

I went to a car parts shop and managed to by a 27mm x 3mm o-ring, put the car back together and ever since its been leaking.

 

can a .5mm in diameter and 1mm thickness really cause the bracket to leak,

 

Any other idea's?

 

I think my car hates me, I have been saying i will sell it and now i am, its decided to throw its toys out the pram.

 

Please help

did you go to robinsons or TPS? the dealers are seriously unhelpful!

the o ring should be ok as long as it didn't get nipped when you put the bracket back on
