Oil Pump Pickup Pipe With Aluminum And FKM Seal For Opel Vauxhall Suzuki Saab Insignia Astra Sx4
Stop oil leaks right where they begin—the joint between your oil pump and pickup pipe. Factory rubber gaskets in these diesel engines wear down and lose shape after years of heat cycling. That deformation lets pressurized oil escape, dropping lubrication levels and risking severe internal engine damage. This aluminum sleeve-and-seal kit permanently replaces the failing original gasket with a rigid, dimensionally stable component that won’t shrink or warp.
Mated with premium FKM rubber rings, the assembly holds a tight, oil-proof barrier under demanding operating temperatures. The straightforward replacement saves labor time because you simply remove the degraded factory seal and install this corrected part. It delivers consistent oil flow for B20DTH 2.0 CDTI platforms and closely matches OEM dimensions using reference numbers 55589549 and 646125.
Benefits & Tips
Verify your exact engine code before fitting to confirm cross-compatibility with your chassis build date.
Scrape away all old sealant and wipe the contact faces dry so the new FKM rings seat flush without gaps.
Nickname fasteners by hand until fully threaded, then tighten progressively to avoid distorting the aluminum sleeve.
