Sealing Performance and Fitment

Mahle 54624 is engineered for engines that require a multi-layered steel head gasket and torque-to-yield cylinder head bolts. Mahle supplies sealing products trusted by OEMs and technicians, and this gasket follows that approach with the dimensions needed for proper cylinder head sealing on 1997-2001 Audi A4, 1998-2001 Audi A4 Quattro, 1998-2001 Audi A6, 1998-2001 Audi A6 Quattro, and 1998-2005 Volkswagen Passat applications. This part cross-references FEL-PRO 26328 PT for the same application.

What This Head Gasket Helps Address

• Coolant loss from a failed cylinder head seal
• Compression leakage between the head and block
• Combustion gas leakage into the cooling system
• Overheating caused by sealing failure
• Oil and coolant mixing from a compromised gasket surface

Installation Notes and Tips

Replacement of cylinder head bolts is necessary for proper installation of this multi-layered steel gasket. Verify cylinder bore diameter, gasket thickness, and engine application before assembly. Clean and inspect the cylinder head and block mating surfaces carefully, and follow the manufacturer’s torque sequence and torque-to-yield procedure during installation. Mahle 54624 also cross-references Volkswagen 078 103 383 L and 078 103 383 R.
