Can't find sump plug O-Ring

Gary_Cusdin

Hi.
I went to VX last year and asked for a sump seal.
I got one which looked a little strange. It was circular but had 3 lumps facing inwards and just seemed different to what I am used to seeing.
I installed and thought nothing else.
I was under the car few days ago and found half of this O-Ring perished and hanging off the bolt.
Now looking over the net (Vauxhall world parts) I can't find a part number for 1.
I found this on ECAT but the parts numbers don't exist, also it says x2.
3536966 652526
-'O'RING,18 X 2,DRAIN PLUG

Anyone know the part number for the O-Ring and if it should be just a circular ring?
Just figured what the X2 means, 18x2 (silly idiot)

You might as well buy the one in the link, the proper sump seal on its own is over £3 from the stealers :eek:

Thanks. Looks better

Have you thought about using one of these?

I've had one for 3 years now on the VXR, and you can use copper washers instead of the rubber o-ring (I'm still on the first washer after 6 oil changes!)
