Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Audi or Volkswagen, this Fel-Pro PermaTorque engine cylinder head gasket is a solid choice. It's built to handle the real-world repair environment, meaning it's designed to seal even when the mating surfaces aren't perfectly smooth. This is a common issue when you're dealing with older engines or have had previous head gasket failures.

This gasket uses a multi-layered steel construction that helps it maintain sealing pressure even as the cylinder head experiences lift under high pressures. It also features a unique combustion seal that can accommodate the pressures and movement found in modern engines. Fel-Pro uses a proprietary coating on this gasket that helps it seal well against rougher surface finishes, up to 80 Ra, which is a notable detail for repair environments. Plus, you'll find precise embossed sealing beads in all the important spots to ensure there are no leak paths.

This gasket fits a wide range of Audi and Volkswagen models, including the Audi A4 Quattro, Audi A3, and Volkswagen Jetta. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific torque sequences and procedures.
