Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify Compatibility: Confirm that your vehicle's make, model, and year are listed within the compatible OE numbers (Audi N 904 264 02; Seat N 904 264 02; Skoda N 904 264 02; VW N 904 264 02) or by consulting a professional.
- Prepare the Area: Safely depressurize the fuel system and disconnect the battery if recommended for your vehicle.
- Remove Old O-Ring: Carefully remove the old O-ring from the fuel filter housing or connection point.
- Clean Seating Surface: Ensure the surface where the new O-ring will sit is clean and free of debris.
- Lubricate (Optional but Recommended): Lightly lubricate the new O-ring with a compatible silicone-based lubricant or a small amount of clean fuel to aid installation and prevent tearing.
- Install New O-Ring: Gently press the new O-ring into its groove, ensuring it is seated evenly and without twists.
- Reassemble: Reconnect the fuel filter and any associated components, ensuring a secure fit.
- Test: After reassembly, carefully check for any fuel leaks before operating the vehicle normally.
