Standard Ignition VG218 EGR Valve Spacer Plate Gasket

Standard Ignition VG218 EGR Valve Spacer Plate Gasket

Standard Ignition VG218 is an exhaust gas recirculation valve spacer plate gasket built for emission system sealing on select Chevrolet S10 and GMC Sonoma applications. It supports a secure seal at the EGR spacer plate to help maintain proper exhaust gas recirculation flow and reduce leakage at the mounting interface.

Key Features

• Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve spacer plate gasket for emission control service
• Direct-fit application coverage for 1998 and 2003 Chevrolet S10 and GMC Sonoma
• Engineered with Standard Ignition emission-component manufacturing controls
• Contents: 1 gasket
• Part number VG218 for catalog and cross-reference lookup

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition VG218 is a replacement EGR valve spacer plate gasket for vehicles that use a sealed spacer-to-valve interface in the emission control system. It is listed for 2003 Chevrolet S10, 1998 Chevrolet S10, 2003 GMC Sonoma, and 1998 GMC Sonoma. If you are servicing an EGR leak, replacing a damaged spacer plate gasket, or addressing an emission-related sealing issue on a Chevrolet S10 or GMC Sonoma, VG218 provides the correct gasket form for the application. This part cross-references Dayco 70808 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• EGR gasket leakage at the spacer plate
• Rough idle or drivability issues tied to exhaust gas recirculation sealing problems
• Emission system fault codes related to EGR flow irregularities
• Exhaust odor or noise from a compromised gasket seal
• Service replacement after removing the EGR valve spacer plate

Installation Notes and Tips

Clean both mating surfaces before installation and inspect the spacer plate and EGR valve for carbon buildup, warping, or corrosion. Verify the gasket aligns with the mounting pattern on your 1998 or 2003 Chevrolet S10 or GMC Sonoma before tightening fasteners evenly to maintain a uniform seal. Use the vehicle service procedure for torque sequence and final inspection.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition manufactures emission components with process control from component production through finished part inspection. VG218 is built to support consistent sealing performance in EGR service applications.
