VAG WHT 002 789 — Seal Ring

Seal ring (oil seal) VAG with part number WHT 002 789 — genuine part from the group "Engine, Clutch / Camshaft, valves". When replacing it, it is recognized by characteristic oil traces at the joint, drips and sweating in the sealing area. This is a small rubber ring that prevents oil leakage in the camshaft and valve assembly.

The part is used on Audi A4 and A6, Volkswagen Touareg with 4.2 V8 FSI and 3.0 V6 TSI engines, as well as on Porsche Macan with 2.0 and 2.9 GTS engines. When selecting, it is important to verify the number WHT 002 789 against the catalog and take into account the specific engine and model year, since the fitment covers 278 positions. Make sure the ring fits your specific camshaft assembly.

When choosing an aftermarket equivalent, rely on the brands from the list — Victor Reinz, Febest, AUTO-GUR, Raceorly, AMR, Mousson — and verify the number against the original. Compatibility is best checked by VIN or exact model, engine and model year. The ring should be replaced when oil drips appear or when the assembly is removed, as the old seal loses its elasticity.
