  • Intake Manifold Gasket

    Why is the ring enlarged on the intake manifold gasket 026129717D for 8v engines compared to the earlier type ? Its now obscuring the bolt hole for the injector wiring mount support. Anyone had this before ?

    Some of the heads have a vacuum connector there, which the bigger loop goes over.
    Put your maniflod on, then cut the loop off if required.

      Ok, so they have solved 1 problem impacting another. Never the less, I will cut it off, thanks for the info. Just seems odd these things

        If you bought an audi or seat later gasket, it would be different again.
        They all fit to some degree. Just depends how recent the stock is at your parts place.
