Cometic 2005+ Audi/VW 2.0L 16V BWA/BPY 83.5mm Bore .045in MLS Head Gasket

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with embossed outer layers coated in Viton, a material known for its resistance to heat and oil. It's designed with a specific 83.5mm bore and a .045 inch thickness, making it a precise fit for the 2.0L 16V TFSI EA113 engines found in many Volkswagen and Audi models starting from 2005, including those with BWA or BPY engine codes.

Using an MLS gasket like this one is a popular choice when rebuilding or repairing the top end of these engines. The layered steel construction offers improved sealing capabilities compared to older gasket types, helping to prevent leaks between the cylinder head and the engine block. The Viton coating on the outer layers adds an extra layer of protection against harsh engine fluids and high temperatures, contributing to a more reliable seal over time.

This gasket fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Audi A3, A4, and TT, as well as the Volkswagen Eos, GTI, Jetta, and Passat from the mid-2000s. When you're putting your engine back together, a well-made head gasket is crucial for proper compression and preventing coolant or oil from mixing.
