Product Description

The Cometic C4541-086 is an upgraded head gasket designed for high performance, boost, and reliability in the EA113 2.0T Volkswagen/Audi engines from 2006-2009. It features a **.086-inch (≈2.18 mm)** compressed thickness, which is significantly thicker than standard gaskets in this lineup - making it ideal for high compression builds, forced induction setups, or applications where head/block sealing faces are aged or slightly warped. The 5-layer MLS construction, including outer embossed layers coated in Viton, ensures excellent resistance to thermal cycling, chemical exposure, and combustion pressure leaks.

Fitment covers many VW and Audi models using the 2.0 L TFSI EA113 engine: Audi A3, A4, TT; VW Jetta, GTI, Passat, Eos among others in the 2006-2009 span. As with all MLS head gaskets, proper installation is critical: head and block surfaces must be flat, clean, and free from warpage; use correct torque sequence and values; check bolt stretch or replacement if required. Thickness of .086" will marginally change combustion chamber volume, so users tuning for compression or engine management may need adjustments.

**Fitment confirmed through 2009. 2010 and later coverage unconfirmed at time of listing.**
