Gasket, cylinder head

This cylinder head gasket from Elring is designed to seal the critical connection between the engine block and cylinder head. It serves as a vital barrier in the combustion chamber of your vehicle. The component ensures that the engine operates efficiently by maintaining a tight seal under pressure.

The gasket is constructed using Multi Layer Steel (MLS) technology which provides resilience and strength. It has a specific thickness of 1.63 mm and is distinguished by a 2 hole identification marking. These dimensions are precise to ensure the correct fitment for the intended engine types.

This part functions to block the flow of liquids and gases effectively. It prevents the mixing of engine oil and coolant which protects the internal components from contamination. A reliable seal also keeps combustion gases contained within the cylinders to maintain engine compression. If a gasket fails it can lead to significant damage to the engine, fuel system, and cooling system. Replacing a worn gasket restores the integrity of these systems.

Elring produces this component to support the maintenance of your vehicle. You can verify this part using the supplier code 298.101. It is suitable for a variety of Volkswagen and MAN models. The application list includes the VW Transporter T6, VW Crafter and the MAN TGE series among others. This covers various body styles such as buses and campers within these model ranges.
