MAHLE Engine Water Pump Backing Plate Gasket

The MAHLE engine water pump backing plate gasket is a sealing component that helps keep coolant where it belongs. It fits between the water pump and the mating surface of the engine, and it prevents leaks and keeps the cooling system sealed. Depending on the application, you may see it called a water pump gasket, a water pump cover gasket, or a water pump backing plate seal.

Key Features:

• Seals the joint between the water pump and the engine to help prevent coolant leaks
• Made by MAHLE, a leading original equipment supplier of engine sealing and cooling system components
• Built to hold up to engine heat cycling, coolant exposure, and the pressures of the cooling system
• Designed to match the original equipment gasket for a proper fit and reliable seal
• Suited to water pump replacement and engine rebuild work

Installing a new gasket whenever you replace a water pump helps protect against leaks, overheating, and coolant loss. Choose the specific part number for your application from the options listed on this page.
