056-198-025A Valve Cover Gasket Set - VW, Audi w/8mm Studs

Valve Cover Gasket Set – 056-198-025A

The 056-198-025A is a premium valve cover gasket set designed to provide a leak-proof seal for the top end of Volkswagen and Audi engines. This set is engineered to withstand the extreme heat and pressure cycles found in both Naturally Aspirated and Turbocharged engines. Whether you are running a classic 1.6L diesel or a high-performance 1.8L 16-valve engine, this gasket ensures that oil remains inside the engine, protecting your components and keeping your engine bay clean.

A failing valve cover gasket is a common source of oil leaks, which can lead to oil loss and potential fire hazards if oil drips onto the exhaust manifold. This direct-replacement set is manufactured from oil-resistant materials to ensure a long service life and a perfect fit for a wide variety of water-cooled VW and Audi powerplants.
