OEM Replacement Cylinder Head Gasket for Transporter T5 / Touareg 2.5 TDI Diesel Engines

Multi Layer Steel (MLS) Cylinder Head Gasket for the 2.5 TDi 5 Cylinder Diesel Engines found in the Volswagen Transporter T5 and the Touareg 7L.

Please select from the option list which thickness gasket you require, there are 3 thickness options in total which are based on the piston protrusion when the Engine is built up.

To determine which gasket you require the number of holes can be seen on the Silver Tab that sticks out on the front of the Engine

When changing the head gasket, please ensure you get the same thickness as previously fitted (unless the rods or pistons have been changed), otherwise you will have running issues.
