Fact-Driven + Persuasive Body Copy
This OE-style gasket sits between the cylinder head and the left heat exchanger on your 2.0-liter Volkswagen engine. Designed to take the punishment of high exhaust temperatures, it locks in a proper seal and prevents leaks that rob performance and create dangerous fumes.

Because Details Matter
Every time you turn the key, your exhaust system goes from cold to red hot in minutes. That kind of punishment chews up tired gaskets fast. A fresh, correct-fit gasket seals tight, keeps exhaust gases where they belong, and saves you from leaks that can spoil the drive. Even the smallest exhaust piece carries a big responsibility — because details matter.
