Cometic 98-06 VW/Audi 1.8L Turbo 82mm .044in MLS Head Gasket

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It's designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, making it a solid choice for your 1.8L Turbo VW or Audi. This gasket features an 82mm bore and a compressed thickness of .044 inches, specifically engineered for the 1.8L 20v T EA827 engine found in many popular vehicles.

This MLS gasket is built with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well with different block and head materials, including aluminum to aluminum or aluminum to cast iron. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different sealing needs. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation.

This gasket fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Audi A4, Audi TT, Volkswagen Beetle, and Volkswagen Golf. It's a direct replacement for your original head gasket, ensuring a proper fit when you're rebuilding your engine's top end.
