Water leak

Recommended Posts

Hi folks

I have an annoying little water leak in the engine on the side of the block.

Basically I need to identify the offending part which is in the picture.

Any help gratefully received.

Thanks all in advance.

Looks like the plastic flange could be the problem.

 

The part number on it seems to be:

051 121 145 D

 

That seems to have been superceded with this part:

027 121 145 B

 

You'll probably want a new seal too:

N 902 954 01

 

A couple of bolts:

N 010 217 10

 

And 2 spring washers:

N 012 226 5

 

I've just checked VW Heritage, and they have all the bits you need

Would be nice to have some alloy ones available, like the replacements for the radiator top flange that Gruvenparts do. I wonder if they would be interested in making them up? Or you can bet there's something from another Vw that will do the job?

Well I've experienced crappy aftermarket ones that don't last two minutes :-( (Warped/leaked soon After fitting) But now that heritage do them I suppose that's a no brainer like you say...An alloy one would look good though and probably outlast the car lol.
