Detailed Description

Elring 818.828 is an OE-style cylinder head gasket engineered for engines that use a 78.5 mm bore and 1.75 mm gasket thickness. In Volkswagen and Audi engine service applications, the gasket helps maintain compression while separating combustion chambers from oil and coolant passages. The fibre composite construction supports consistent sealing across the head-to-block interface during rebuilds, head resurfacing, or gasket replacement work. This part cross-references EXEDY OEM 04128 for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Restores sealing after a blown head gasket diagnosis
• Addresses compression loss between the cylinder head and block
• Helps correct coolant mixing with engine oil from gasket failure
• Supports repair after overheating-related head service
• Replaces a worn or damaged head gasket during engine overhaul

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, gasket thickness, and engine code before installation. Inspect the cylinder head and block for flatness, corrosion, and surface damage, and follow the manufacturer’s torque sequence and tightening specifications during assembly. Clean mating surfaces thoroughly so the gasket can seat evenly and seal correctly.

Quality Assurance

Elring is known for engine sealing components used in professional repair environments, and this gasket is built to meet the dimensional requirements of the listed application. Confirm fitment against the engine specification before installation. Fits 2006-2011 Volkswagen Audi engine applications, where the 78.5 mm bore and 1.75 mm thickness are specified.
