T4,G3 Head Gasket Set - 2.8 VR6 (AES)

This complete cylinder head gasket set is designed for Volkswagen VR6 watercooled engines, providing everything required to correctly refit the cylinder head to the engine block after repair or overhaul. It is ideal for VW T4 Transporter VR6 models as well as a wide range of Golf, Vento, Passat, Corrado, and Sharan vehicles fitted with VR6 engines.

The head gasket forms a critical seal between the cylinder head and block, containing combustion pressure while also separating oil and coolant passages. Failure of this gasket can result in overheating, coolant loss, oil contamination, poor running, and severe engine damage. Replacing it with a full matched gasket set ensures all sealing surfaces are renewed at the same time for long-term reliability.

This comprehensive kit includes the cylinder head gasket, manifold gaskets, and all associated sealing components required during reassembly. Using a complete set avoids mixing old and new gaskets, which can otherwise lead to leaks and repeat failures. Manufactured from high-quality materials, these gaskets are designed to withstand the high temperatures and pressures generated by VR6 engines while maintaining a consistent, reliable seal.

Whether you are carrying out a head gasket replacement, top-end rebuild, or preventative engine refresh, this kit simplifies the job and ensures correct sealing throughout the engine. Suitable for professional workshops and confident DIY rebuilders alike.
