Application Details

This engine cylinder head gasket is used to seal the cylinder head to the engine block, helping maintain combustion pressure, coolant separation, and oil control. The MLS construction is suited to engines that rely on a precise, layered sealing interface. Elring 823.941 is listed for Audi Q3, Audi A3, Volkswagen Tiguan, and related Volkswagen Group applications, including Audi Q2 Quattro, Audi Q3 Quattro, and Audi A5 Sportback.

What It Helps Address

• Compression loss from a worn or damaged head gasket
• Coolant leakage between the cylinder head and block
• Oil seepage at the head-to-block sealing surface
• Combustion gas leakage that can affect engine performance
• Sealing issues after cylinder head service or engine repair

Installation Notes

Verify bore diameter, thickness, and hole count against the engine specification before installation. Inspect the cylinder head and block for flatness, corrosion, and surface damage, and follow the manufacturer’s torque sequence and tightening procedure during assembly. Confirm fitment by matching the vehicle application and engine code before final installation on Audi Q3, Audi A3, and Volkswagen Tiguan platforms.

Quality Assurance

Elring is a recognized sealing-system manufacturer for engine repair applications, and this gasket is built to OE-style dimensional requirements for accurate fitment and sealing performance. Part number 823.941 should be matched to the exact engine application before use.
