G3 Exhaust Manifold Gasket - 1.4-1.6

This exhaust manifold gasket provides a gas-tight seal between the cylinder head and exhaust manifold on Volkswagen petrol engines. With a precise 0.4 mm thickness, it compensates for minor surface irregularities while maintaining correct exhaust flow and back pressure. A sound seal here is essential to prevent exhaust leaks that can cause ticking noises on cold start, loss of performance, incorrect lambda readings, or fumes in the engine bay.

Manufactured to OE dimensions, the gasket is designed to withstand high exhaust temperatures and repeated heat cycles without crushing or blowing out. It’s an ideal replacement during manifold removal, exhaust repairs, or engine work—and should always be renewed rather than reused.
