Description

I replaced it with a Mahle VS50515, put a very thin layer of oil on it so it doesn't bind, cleaned all the bolts, and torqued them down to 10Nm using the bolt pattern in the earlier post. 2 weeks later, it's starting to seep all around. The gasket doesn't look like it's seated properly, with some places clearly not straight
Cons: seeping all around, not seated properly
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 200000 km
Part number: VS50515
The aftermarket Mahle gasket works just fine. The key is to torque it down EXACTLY to factory specs to prevent leaking.
Pros: works just fine, no leaking
Vehicle:
Mazda
