Product Description

The Cometic C4558-051 is a premium Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket engineered specifically for the Volkswagen and Audi 1.8 L 20V Turbo engines (EA827) used in many models from 1998 to 2006.

This gasket supports reliable combustion chamber sealing and effective fluid isolation between oil and coolant passages.
