I also spoke to the tech in the meantime at Dick Lovett, they do indeed use silicone or any suitable lubricant to make sure it doesn't get damaged when placing in and to provide a more air-tight seal.

Frequently discussed actions (5)

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Is there any specific grease I need to put around the seals? I am assuming that you don't put them in dry... Thanks, Steve

POST 2Original post

The workshop manual says use "tyre mounting paste", and the parts lists says use Grease 000.043.205.10 @£20/tube. Most people use a regular silicone grease.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, I couldn't find it, but then it was late. The O-ring and tube looks spot on, there was no paste or grease on the o-ring that was leaking, and I could pull it out just by pressing my finger on the inside with a rubber glove for grip. I wonder if when someone replaced it last time they forgot to apply the grease. Just one thing, won't the silicone grease dry out / burn off? I normally use high pressure lithium grease for this sort of thing. Cheers,

POST 4Original post

Silicone grease is good for 200 deg C, so should be fine in that location.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok cool, thanks again I also spoke to the tech in the meantime at Dick Lovett, they do indeed use silicone or any suitable lubricant to make sure it doesn't get damaged when placing in and to provide a more air-tight seal.
