Full details
The VAICO Auto Trans Sump Gasket (V22-0315) is an essential maintenance component designed for vehicle owners and mechanics performing transmission fluid services on specific Renault, Peugeot, Citroën, and Dacia models. It provides a reliable, OE-standard seal that prevents fluid leaks from the transmission oil pan, ensuring the longevity of your transmission system. While it is a high-quality, durable part, its primary caveat is that it is highly application-specific; users must cross-reference their vehicle's OE part numbers to ensure a correct fit before attempting installation.

Can I reuse this gasket during the next oil change?
It is highly recommended to replace the sump gasket every time the oil pan is removed to ensure a proper, leak-free seal.
Is this part equivalent to the original dealer part?
Yes, VAICO components are designed to meet or exceed original equipment standards.

Check the OE part number on your existing gasket or consult your vehicle's VIN-based parts catalog to match it against the VAICO V22-0315 specifications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success, always cross-reference the VAICO V22-0315 with your vehicle’s specific OE part number before purchasing.
Installation best practices include:
- Ensuring the mating surfaces on both the transmission housing and the oil pan are completely clean and free of old gasket residue or debris.
- Checking the oil pan for warpage before installing the new gasket.
- Tightening bolts in a cross-pattern sequence to ensure even compression across the entire surface area.
- Avoiding the use of liquid sealants unless specified by the vehicle manufacturer's service manual, as this can often degrade the gasket's performance.
