Head gaskets

[Jake G 4 0]

Alright lads,

I'm looking at getting a upgraded head gasket as the one I have just used was useless and split straight away.

I was thinking about getting a metal or group N gasket but does anyone know where I could get one from??

If there is no such thing I may just have to try and get an oem Vw gasket.

Thanks Jake.

6n 8v gaskets are metal and plenty of people use them

Origianl G40 head gaskets are obsolete now my dealer said as of jan

I just tried my dealer and he confirmed that they are now obselete....

What engine size etc gasket are we talking about pete the 1.3 earlier model or the 1.4/1.6??

Thanks Jake.

any later 8v 6n.  tell them engine code AEX

I think AEE is another code to use. Was a 1.6 8v 6n.

Thanks for all the advice lads but I did a compression test and all cylinders were 10.5 psi so hopefully the head gasket is holding out and hopefully hasn't gone on an oil way.

I assume you mean bar and not psi?

Yeh I meant bar sorry not psi.

Anyone got a g&s part number for the 6n metal head gasket?

Thanks in advance.

elring part number 621.082
GSF part number is 11133B
ECP  part no. 366441090
Victor Reinz Part Number is 60-31970-00

Thanks.

Was looking at GSF and kept getting part number 111VG0130 for 6N part. Is that correct/same?

I've got the above GSF headgasket in my post fitted to my Mk2 G40. The Victor Reinz part number and elring part number all match it, so I would suggest you ask them over the counter for that. HTH
