About this part

Product Details

This product is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for 1.8L Turbo VW and Audi engines from 1997-2006. It features an 85mm bore and a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches, with an original thickness of 0.040 inches. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines and is suitable for use with both aluminum and cast iron blocks.

The gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can withstand temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well in various sealing conditions. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control. This design means the gasket doesn't require additional sealants for installation.

This head gasket fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Audi A4, Audi TT, Volkswagen Golf, and Volkswagen Jetta. It's a solid option for rebuilding or repairing the top end of your 1.8T engine.
