Audi VW Oil Pump Pickup Tube Gasket - Reinz 407673800

Product Information

An Engine Oil Pump Pickup Tube is a component of the engine's oiling system that connects the oil pump to the oil sump (or oil pan). It is responsible for drawing engine oil from the sump and delivering it to the oil pump, which then circulates the oil throughout the engine to lubricate moving parts, reduce friction, and maintain engine performance.

• Oil Leaks: Damage to the pickup tube or its seals can lead to oil leaks, which may be visible under the vehicle or around the engine compartment
• Low Oil Pressure: A failing or damaged pickup tube can result in inadequate oil flow to the oil pump, leading to low oil pressure. This can be indicated by a warning light on the dashboard or an oil pressure gauge reading lower than normal

About Reinz

Founded by Hugo Reinz in 1920, Reinz has been known for the manufacturing of Automotive gaskets for over 90 years. For almost a century Reinz has provided gaskets and sealing products for both auto manufacturers and as an aftermarket solution for car enthusiasts. Their full catalog features over 15,000 different products, providing a great selection for excellent value. Way back in 1962 Reinz became the (OEM) original equipment manufacturer for the prestigious Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen car companies, a strong partnership that still continues to this day. The company continues to innovate and stay well ahead of the curve. For example, Reinz stopped using asbestos in their gaskets 12 years before it was banned in Germany in 1993. Reinz performs because every part they manufacture meets OEM standards – meaning you're getting great value that you can believe in. Many brands and models use sealing solutions from Reinz. In 1993 Reinx became a partner to the American company, Dana, to form the largest manufactures of components for automobile and commercial vehicles. The Gasket segment of Dana was Victor at the time ahich was then merged with Reinz to form the brand name of "Victor Reinz".
