Its an o-ring with two locator tabs on the inside diameter. I used motor
oil to lubricate the o-ring before installation. Don't overtighten it.

Subject:        oil cooler

I am about to replace the oil cooler on my 1990 vanagon 2.1, does any one
know what the bentley manual means by coating the flange of the oil cooler
with amv 188 100 02 sealant? Is there not a o ring seal? and is it OK to
use silicone sealant?
Thanks for any help. John 90 vanagon gl.
