Just ordered my timing belt kit from Blauparts and was trying to see exactly what to get from the local dealer for the oil cooler repair.

According to audipages the parts needed are:
3 each O rings #077-121-437.
1 each plastic coolant pipe #077-117-411-A.
1 oil seal/gasket #077-115-441.

However lower on that same page I see a gasket kit with part number 077-198-405 also.

My car is a 98 32v and just trying to figure out if I need all of these or does the kit mentioned negate the need for the separate oil seal/gasket or can I just go with the separate items and no kit?

Tried talking to the local dealers, one said there is a kit but its not complete and he was not sure what it included as he didnt have any on hand. The second dealer said there is no kit and you have to buy everything separately but could not tell me exactly what is needed and asked for me to bring the car in for them to look at.

Needless to say finding my local dealers useless I turn to the experts here for guidance.

Thanks,
Ali

It appears to be for oil cooler internal seals that aren't much of a problem. I don't think I've ever seen anyone need to replace them.

I'd probably just order the separate parts you've already ID'd. That would be safest.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/179673.phtml">See this thread, regarding the 070 kit being the wrong one.</a></li></ul>
