Detailed Description
This Elring 914.873 cylinder head gasket is specified for Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Passat, Volkswagen Jetta, and Audi 80 engine applications where MLS construction and exact thickness selection are required. The 1.61 mm installed thickness and 81 mm diameter help match the engine’s sealing and compression requirements, while the piston protrusion range provides the measurement window needed for correct gasket selection. This part cross-references MAHLE 54436 for the same application.
What This Gasket Helps Address
- Coolant leakage at the cylinder head sealing surface
- Compression loss from a compromised head gasket
- Combustion gas seepage into the cooling system
- Oil and coolant mixing caused by sealing failure
- Repair needs after cylinder head service on listed Volkswagen and Audi engines
Installation Notes and Tips
- Verify piston protrusion before installation and confirm it falls within 0.93 mm to 1.02 mm.
- Use the required additional article 819.824 during the repair.
- Confirm the engine’s gasket thickness requirement matches 1.61 mm.
- Clean and inspect the cylinder head and engine block sealing surfaces before assembly.
- Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque sequence and tightening specifications.
Quality Assurance
Elring is a recognized name in engine sealing systems, and this gasket is built to OE-level dimensional specifications for the listed applications. Confirm fitment by year, model, and engine measurements before installation.
