  1. Is there any way of knowing the best quality from these two? I know the price should tell me but I don't have them.

  2. One is black, t'other is orange if that helps...
     
  3. Elring is a top quality german company, The black is probably a repro genuine one, the orange is probably a silicone based one. Different people p[refer different seals, But i have always used the orange ones with great sucess.
     
  4. Cheers.
    I went with the black, it felt more substantial.
     
  5. Elring are an OEM manufacturer. Also you can get the German made seals from VW dealerships. Mine was marked. W Germany and also marked BRUSS. it was £8.00 from VW. part number 113 105 245 j. They did need to order it in but it only took an afternoon.
