Head gasket identification.

Post by asday101 »

Hello experts.

At 193k miles I think it's finally time to change my head gasket. I've got an overpressure in the coolant system and there's smoke in the header tank. Pretty tell tale signs.

Anyway, I'm having a little jip identifying the head gasket part number. Looking at the tat I've got two small circular holes (two dots), does anyone know any good online retailers. Even better is there a specific part number for the two dot?

Engine is 1.4tdi, AMF.

For clarity, there's also two elongated holes on the head gasket tab, am I right to ignore these and only count the smaller circular dots?

Cheers,

Adam.

You really need to give the model year/details and engine code to a supplier and ensure you get the correct part number.

I think I purchased my top end gasket set off eBay (forget the name but a well known supplier of quality German parts) and they were helpful in identifying the correct product.
