I was in the middle of my alternator install when i noticed the gasket was missing between the unit and the tin. Instead there was a huge sloppy bead of clear silicon. I would like to purchase the rubber and put it back. anybody know where i can find this part??

I can't find anything in the PET, at least nothing in an illustration. The workshop manual calls it a "seal".

try part number 022-903-203 got it from AA

Our classifieds should probably be able to hook you up.

They are NLA from Porsche. I tried to get some two years ago. VW suppliers might have some though.

A similar piece was installed in T4 VW bus engines, but it's not the same. I'm not sure which the 912E one is.

There is one on SambaVW.com under search for alternator.. Alot of VW and 914 use same Bosch alternator... And can interchange with most as well

Thanks Joe

I just sent a message to the seller
