Detailed Description

Standard Ignition PG56 is a replacement fuel injection plenum gasket used in upper intake manifold sealing applications on Volkswagen Cabrio, Golf, Jetta, and Passat models. The gasket is specified with a 1.016 thickness, 5 bolt holes, and 4 ports, helping restore the seal between intake components where vacuum integrity and air control are critical. This part number, PG56, is listed for upper-position service on 1993-2002 Volkswagen vehicles, depending on model.

Compatible With 1995-2002 Volkswagen Cabrio, upper; 1993-1999 Volkswagen Golf, upper; 1993-1999 Volkswagen Jetta, upper; and 1995-1996 Volkswagen Passat, upper. Standard Ignition PG56 is also referenced by part numbers 2-50065, 800-8606, and 037129717D for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a leaking upper intake plenum gasket
• Restoring intake sealing on Volkswagen Cabrio, Golf, Jetta, and Passat models
• Addressing vacuum leaks at the plenum-to-manifold interface
• Correcting rough idle or drivability issues caused by intake air leaks
• Supporting proper air/fuel metering after intake service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the upper intake configuration before installation and compare the bolt-hole count, port layout, and gasket thickness to the original part. Clean both sealing surfaces thoroughly before assembly so the paper gasket can seat evenly. Because throttle body gasket, upper intake manifold gaskets, end seals, and grommets are not included, confirm whether additional sealing components are needed for your repair.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition supplies this gasket as an OE-style replacement part for listed Volkswagen applications. Fitment is confirmed for the specified model years and upper intake position, and the part is identified under Standard Ignition PG56 for direct reference during ordering and service.
