Detailed Product Overview

Victor Reinz 71-29440-10 is an exhaust manifold gasket made for Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, EuroVan, Passat, and Corrado applications listed below. It is a direct-fit sealing component for the exhaust manifold connection on the left side where specified, including models with cylinders 4 to 6 only. The MLS design helps maintain a stable seal under exhaust heat and vibration, while the attached heat shield adds another layer of protection in high-temperature service areas. This part cross-references OE-style part numbers such as 000 142 03 80 and 021 253 050 B for the same application.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine cylinder application before ordering, since this gasket is listed for cylinders 4 to 6 only on the supported Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, EuroVan, Passat, and Corrado models. Confirm the left-side position where shown in the fitment data and inspect the manifold and head sealing surfaces for warpage, corrosion, or carbon buildup before installation. Proper surface preparation and correct fastener torque are important for a lasting seal.

Quality Assurance

Victor Reinz supplies sealing components with protective packaging, clear labeling, and electronic cataloging to help ensure the correct gasket reaches the repair. The 71-29440-10 is built as a precise exhaust sealing solution for the listed Volkswagen applications.
