I just replaced both flanges on my '89 Golf. They were totally deformed and cracked. So only replacing the o-ring isn't going to work. I paid 28euro for the whole kit. That's for two flanges, all new o-ring's (sensors), clips and a plug. Must be a common failure being so cheap and in stock.

I'd replace the manifold , it doesn't cost that much and there is known problems with it deforming.
Is it necessary to replace the whole flange or just the gasket in fixing a leak? 1990 Jetta 8v.
I heard the whole thing needs changing cause it deforms...

I just had the whole plastic flange assembly replaced. It was not expensive at all. It does deform over time, just replace the whole thing.
