028103533 Volkswagen SEALING WA

These little guys really just create a tight seal. They go along with bolts or nuts, usually on engine components, and they compress when you tighten everything down. That compression fills in any tiny imperfections in the surfaces, preventing leaks of fluids—oil, coolant, whatever it may be. They distribute the clamping force evenly, too. Think of it like this, you’ve got all these engine parts bolted together. The washer sits between the bolt head and the surface it’s tightening against. It’s a small part, but it’s often critical where fluids or gases need to stay contained. You’ll find them on things like oil pans, valve covers, manifolds – anywhere there’s a bolted connection that needs to be leak – proof. They’re not always just for fluids though, sometimes they're about keeping exhaust gases contained. Well, without a good seal, you’re going to have leaks. That can range from a minor annoyance – a little drip on your driveway – to something serious that could damage your engine or even leave you stranded. A leaking oil seal, for example, can quickly lead to low oil levels, which is a recipe for disaster. These washers act like a shield, preventing those leaks from happening in the first place. You’ll notice if one fails – usually by seeing a fluid leak, or sometimes by hearing a hissing sound. If you’re doing any engine work, replacing these washers is a really good practice – cheap insurance against future problems. You can usually find a good selection of them at places like Fixparts Online, and they’re pretty straightforward to install when you're already working on the engine.
