Is anyone having success with replacing the seal/rubber o ring?

Car's an 07.. Revision E I believe. Replaced the ring and still had a leak. Bought a revision G pump, used, replaced the o ring, installed and it leaks even worse.

Is the only remedy replacing the pump with new? Or am I doing something wrong?

You mean the engine o-ring and the pump cover o-ring or only the engine o-ring? Replaced all of them and it doesn't leak anymore (E revision).

Try using the RKX seal kit. It’s available on Amazon, and contains all seals for old and new revision pumps.

- Rear seal for newer style vacuum pump
