I got a whole bunch of parts for my e53 (m54)during the FCPEURO year end sale, because I had planned to buy them at the beginning of the year anyways.
I ended up making A few of my own kits with the FCPeuro kit as a guide. I was just looking through the parts and realized I don't have a gasket for the waterpump. Do I need a gasket? I'm not sure why it wasn't included in their kit.

Yup, I would definitely get it... when I replaced the water pump on my car the gasket was so flat I was surprised it didn't leak...Originally Posted by hcbeck2689

Interesting. This is the kit I went off of. I basically just got the exact kit-coolant. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...-kit-240432akt
I don't even see the gasket on FCPs site. I do see an o ring, which i don't think I got.

I was actually talking about the round black gasket on the water pump which is in the pic in the link you provided, sorry if you meant something else...

Yeah its more a o-ring than a gasket. Part# 11511711484.
When I bought my waterpump from ECS tuning, it came with the o-ring/gasket. No need to buy it separate.

Yeah, I thought the gasket is included already installed in the water pump.

Is it necessary to replace? I guess it wouldn't hurt but it seems like the rubber might hold up well.
Edit: opened up my water pump and it was on there
Back to my original question. I was looking at the area where the bolts run through. Just want to make sure that there shouldn't be a gasket there. See pic

Not that I'm aware of. The o ring functions as the gasket.

Nope, there is no other gasket apart from the o-ring that you already have.

Yep the o-ring seals it. When you go to put it in, lube that o-ring with some antifreeze. It will go in nice and easy
