Default Oil Cooler repair... need clairification

can someone tell if item #25 in the oil cooler diagram...... is that a ONE piece Figure-Eight O-ring, or is it TWO separate o-rings??

i'm confused, because i thought all the o-rings were suppose to be the same size; because O-rings #22 and #24, that go onto the coolant pipe, are about half the size of item #25.

also, that O-ring item circled in RED, is that the same as #22/#24???<ul><li><a href="http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articles/enginemechanical/oilcoolerremovalreinstall.html">oil cooler diagram</a></li></ul>

It' is one piece. The o-rings for the coolant pipe are definately much smaller.

Default that's what i thought, but what i have in this package are 2 LARGE O-rings and a gasket

the part# of this gasket kit is: 077-198-070; which is suppose to comprise of:

contains oil cooler gasket # N 905 428 01 aka #077-115-441 and two o-ring seals # 077 121 437

the kit came with the gasket and these 2 LARGE O-rings. i purchased it online.

is this the wrong gasket kit???



since the kit didn't include the coolant pipe, i went to the $tealer yesterday and bought the coolant pipe for $10 and the 2 O-rings that go to it, @ $8 EACH!!!!!!! what a rip-off... but that's what confused me, because i thought all the O-rings were suppose to be the same size.

Default what is that very small O-ring in the picture??

also, is that pictured kit (077-198-405) for the 32v or 40v??? [not that i would know the difference]

i just call the dealer.. that figure-8 gasket/seal is $21 alone (part# 077-115-441)

Default The package ones look like some internal o-rings (#39 on my ETKA plate), whereas #14 on my ETKA

plate are the ones that go on the coolant pipe.

I'll send you an email with a couple screen shots in a minute.

Default YGM, and further, that's the gasket kit for some gaskets internal to the oil cooler that rarely

go bad.

Bummer.

Default why this..

crap..

Why the little pipe with no o-rings?

Why the 070 kit and it's questionable (yep, I got it too) ?

How's about a complete parts list or KIT??????

This is NUTZ
