head gasket probs 200 tdi

<< < (2/3) > >>

philbert:
apparently there is 3 gaskets for the tdi.
they are all marked but i dont know where the marks are and if they are visible.
if they were i would just order a new head gasket anyway and keep it in my spares box.

muddyweb:
Have a look on the edge of the gasket on the driver's side (I think).  You should see a protrusion of the gasket and it ought to have a number of holes punched in it.

There should be 1, 2 or 3 holes... this is the way the gasket thickness is identified.

philbert:
excellent thanx for that.
 i'll just get my jacket

beast5680:
if you have a got a head gasket its worth having the head skimmed as well or at the very least checked to make sure its flat

Xtremeteam:
if its been skimmed fit the 3 holer as thats the thickest IIRC,need to go n look at mine as it got the thickest gasket when i built the engine
