Product Description

The Cometic C4541-051 is a premium MLS head gasket engineered for the VW/Audi EA113 2.0 L Turbo (commonly found in 2006-2009 Audi & VW 2.0T models). It features a bore diameter of 83.5 mm and a compressed thickness of .051 inches (≈1.295 mm), offering a solid balance between head sealing performance, compression, and combustion chamber clearance. The three-layer stainless steel construction, with Viton-coated outer layers, ensures excellent durability under temperature, charge pressure, and chemical exposure typical of turbocharged engines.

This gasket is ideal for performance rebuilds, proper replacement in stock high-mileage applications, or mild forced induction upgrades in the EA113 platform. It seals without needing additional sealants, but installation requires clean, flat head and block surfaces, proper torque pattern, and specification adherence to prevent leaks. Compatible with aluminum heads over either aluminum or cast iron blocks.
