Subject:      1980 EGR gasket help wanted
Comments: To: type2@type2.com
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

My 1980 2.0l engine is already for final assemble (tin, EGR, exhaust, FI). However in search of the EGR gaskets I have a problem. I asked my rebuilder to order the set for me and VW gave them 6 gaskets (4 15mm and 2 14mm). ETKA states that two 14mm are placed at the tin (where EGR pipe passes through) and one 15mm at the crossover pipe. Then it gives a part number on the text sheet that has a "x" marked for quantity. These are 15mm gaskets. But also another 5.5mm and 19mm gasket are called for in the diagram to complete the system.

My question is did VW just substitute 2 of the 15mm gaskets to replace the 19mm and the 5.5mm???
