Detailed Description

Mahle VS50449 is an engine valve cover gasket set engineered for vehicles that require molded rubber sealing and integrated spark plug tube seals. Mahle gaskets are used by OEMs and technicians worldwide for sealing applications where consistent material quality and dimensional accuracy matter. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 036-1833 and FEL-PRO VS51366R for the same application. Compatible with select 2001-2009 Audi A3 Quattro and TT Quattro, 2007-2008 Volkswagen Eos, 2008 Volkswagen R32, 2004-2006 Porsche Cayenne, 2004-2006 Volkswagen Touareg, 2002-2005 Volkswagen Golf, 2002-2004 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2001-2003 Volkswagen EuroVan applications listed in the fitment data.

Common Uses

• Repairing oil seepage around the valve cover sealing surface
• Replacing hardened or flattened molded rubber gaskets
• Addressing oil contamination around spark plug tube wells
• Restoring proper sealing after valve cover service
• Correcting leaks caused by aging engine sealing components

Installation Notes

Clean the valve cover and cylinder head sealing surfaces thoroughly before installation. Inspect the cover for warpage, cracks, or damage that could affect sealing. Confirm the spark plug tube seals are seated correctly during assembly, and verify that the application does not require separate PCV valve grommets, camshaft plugs, or valve cover grommets, since those are not included in this set.

Quality Assurance

Mahle supplies sealing products used in OEM and professional repair environments, and this gasket set is built to OEM-standard expectations for fit and sealing consistency. Use the confirmed vehicle fitment data for 2001-2009 Audi, Volkswagen, and Porsche applications when selecting this part.
