Vacuum Pump Seal - sealing ring between the engine-driven vacuum pump and its mounting face on the engine, forming part of the brake servo vacuum circuit.

Direct-injection petrol engines generate too little manifold depression to feed the brake servo reliably, so a mechanically driven vacuum pump supplies it instead. This seal closes the joint between the pump body and its mounting face; once it hardens or is displaced it admits air into the circuit, which shows up as a hard brake pedal and reduced servo assistance rather than as an engine fault.

Renew the seal whenever the vacuum pump is removed or refitted. Locate it squarely in its seat on a clean, undamaged mounting face and draw the pump down evenly.

Frequently asked questions

What does the LR012685 vacuum pump seal do?
The LR012685 seals the vacuum pump to the engine on petrol models, keeping the vacuum circuit airtight. That vacuum feeds the brake servo, so a sound seal helps maintain brake pedal assistance.
Should this seal be replaced every time the pump is removed?
Yes, this vacuum pump seal is typically single-use. Once the pump is disturbed the old seal can leak, so it's normal practice to fit a new LR012685 seal whenever the vacuum pump is removed or refitted.
Which vehicles does this vacuum pump seal fit?
This seal fits petrol engines across the New Defender, Discovery 4 and 5, Range Rover L322 and L405, Range Rover Sport L494 and Range Rover Velar. It's for petrol vacuum pump applications, so confirm your engine by VIN before ordering.
