no gasket dont need torque wrench just tigthen with spanner till nipped up then 1/2 turn more as long as tight exact toirque is not necessary ,standard spanner size length is in relation to tightness of given standard bolt ,use a screw driver to lock between bolt heads while slackening other

Not sure If I remember correctly as I changed mine last year but is there is a rubber O ring on each pipe that connects to the pump . Regards Jonathan

I changed the pas pump on the wife's TDi 300 last month and I can confirm that there is an O-ring on the output side and a straightforward pipe and Jubilee clip on the inlet side.

The new pump made a surprising difference to the feel of the car - much nicer to drive.
