Overview

It is essential to replace this gasket when removing the catalytic converter from the turbocharger to ensure a proper seal. A leaking exhaust can lead to poor vehicle sound and incorrect oxygen sensor readings.
Show original supplier description
The Genuine Volkswagen Audi exhaust gasket, part number 1K0253115AB, is designed to provide a critical seal between the turbocharger and the catalytic converter. This component is crucial for maintaining exhaust system integrity and preventing leaks that can negatively impact vehicle performance and emissions readings. Properly sealing the exhaust system is vital. A leak at the turbocharger-to-catalytic converter junction can result in a harsh, unpleasant exhaust note and may cause the vehicle's oxygen sensors to deliver inaccurate data to the engine control module, potentially leading to drivability issues and check engine lights. This gasket fits a range of Audi and Volkswagen models equipped with the 2.0T engine, including various A3, TT, TTS, Q3, Beetle, CC, EOS, Golf, Jetta, and Passat variants. Specific fitment details may apply, such as engine codes (CCTA or CBFA for certain models) or drivetrain configurations (FWD vs. Quattro). Always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle using the provided fitment guide. Supersedes part numbers 1K0-253-115-AB and 1K0253115K. The product is covered by a Lifetime Replacement Program.
