Oil Pump Pickup Pipe Aluminium Sleeve & FKM Seal – Opel Vauxhall

Oil Pump Pickup Pipe Aluminium Sleeve & FKM Seal Set – Vauxhall / Opel / Saab / Suzuki

Keep your diesel engine running at full lubrication capacity with this precision-engineered Aluminium Sleeve-Gasket and FKM O-Ring Set for the oil pump pickup pipe. Designed as a permanent, long-lasting upgrade over the OEM rubber gasket, this kit eliminates leaks at the oil pump-to-pickup pipe junction that can lead to a dangerous drop in lubrication pressure — and ultimately, a serious engine failure.

Unlike the original bolted version, this upgraded sleeve design maintains the full cross-section of oil flow — no restriction, no compromise. Made in China.

Why Upgrade to This Aluminium Sleeve Kit?

• Permanent Fix: Replaces the factory O-ring gasket that hardens and cracks over time, allowing oil to bypass the seal and reducing lubrication pressure.
• No Deformation: The aluminium sleeve does not deform under heat or pressure like the OE rubber gasket does — it holds its shape permanently.
• Full Oil Flow: Unlike bolted alternatives, this sleeve-style connection does not reduce the cross-section of the oil flow path.
• FKM O-Rings Included: FKM (Fluoroelastomer) material is highly resistant to oil, heat, and chemicals — far superior to standard rubber for engine environments.
• Simple Installation: Remove the old gasket, fit the sleeve and O-rings — no specialist tools needed for the swap.
• Corrected Design: This part incorporates the corrected construction used in the B20DTH (LFS) 2.0 CDTI 170 HP engine with AdBlue system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What vehicles is this oil pump pickup pipe seal kit compatible with?

A: This kit is compatible with a wide range of diesel-engine vehicles, including Opel/Vauxhall Insignia A, Cascada, Astra J, and Zafira C (2.0 CDTI), Suzuki SX4 and Vitara (DDiS engines), Chevrolet Malibu 2.0D, and Saab 9-3 and 9-5 (TTiD engines). Always verify your engine code before ordering.

Q: Why is the aluminium sleeve better than the OE rubber seal?

A: The original OE rubber O-ring gasket tends to harden and deteriorate over time, allowing oil to bypass the seal. This aluminium sleeve creates a permanent, rigid connection that does not deform under heat or pressure, ensuring a lasting, leak-free seal at the oil pump-to-pickup pipe junction.

Q: What does FKM mean and why does it matter?

A: FKM stands for Fluoroelastomer — a high-performance synthetic rubber known for outstanding resistance to oils, fuels, heat, and chemicals. The 7 FKM O-rings included in this set are far more durable in engine environments than standard rubber O-rings, ensuring a long-lasting, reliable seal.

Q: Is this kit easy to install at home?

A: Yes — installation is straightforward. Remove the old OE gasket, clean the mating surfaces, fit the aluminium sleeve, and install the FKM O-rings. No special tools are required for the seal replacement itself, though access to the oil pan area may require basic workshop equipment such as a lift or jack stands.
