Title: Head gasket
Post by: Dieselumbrado on March 27, 2010, 10:37:01 am

I have to change the head gasket, the car is a 82 Rabbit diesel.
Which gasket is better, Elring or Victor Reinz?

Thanks

With all the components in good repair I've had the same good results with either..  

And because of the year of your car I have to get my usual question in, do you know if you have 11mm or 12mm head bolts?  82 should be the better 12mm, but I've seen several that still had the 11mm...
