G3 Oil Sump Gasket - 2.8 VR6 (AAA), 2.9 VR6 (ABV)

This oil sump gasket is designed for early 12-valve VR6 engines found in a variety of Volkswagen models. It fits:

• Mk3 Golf VR6

• Vento VR6

• Passat B3 and B4 VR6 (AAA engine code up to engine number 146 000)

• Corrado VR6 (2.9 ABV engine code up to engine number 023 000)

The oil sump gasket sits between the lower oil pan (sump) and the engine block. It seals in the engine oil, preventing leaks and ensuring consistent oil pressure. A failed gasket can result in oil drips, low oil levels, and potentially engine damage over time. This replacement gasket is made from a durable, heat- and oil-resistant material, ensuring a long service life and reliable performance in high-heat VR6 engines.
