ELRING 915.572 Cylinder Head Gasket Set

The ELRING 915.572 Cylinder Head Gasket Set is a premium sealing solution designed for the valve cover and cylinder head assembly of a wide range of Volkswagen Group engines, including Audi, VW, Seat, Skoda, and Cupra models from the late 1980s through the early 2000s. This set delivers reliable performance, ensuring optimal engine protection against leaks, overheating, and mechanical wear.

Key Features

• High‑Quality Materials: Manufactured with advanced elastomer blends that resist oil, coolant, and high temperatures up to 200 °C. The gasket material maintains flexibility over a wide temperature range, preventing brittle failure during engine start‑up or shutdown.
• Precision Engineering: Each gasket is stamped to exact dimensions, guaranteeing a perfect fit on the valve cover and cylinder head surfaces. This precision eliminates gaps that could lead to oil or coolant leaks.
• Corrosion Resistance: The gasket’s composition resists corrosion from engine fluids, extending its service life even in harsh operating conditions.
• Universal Compatibility: Suitable for a variety of engines: 90‑93 Audi 200 Quattro, 90‑93 Audi S4, Audi A6 C4 (4A2) 2.2 L (1994‑1997), Audi 80 A4, VW Golf, and many others that use the 915.572 specification.
• Easy Installation: The set includes all necessary components—gaskets for the valve cover, cylinder head, and any required spacers—allowing a straightforward assembly process without additional parts.

Applications

The 915.572 gasket set is engineered to fit the following engine families:

• Audi 80 A4 (8C2, B4)
• Audi 90/89/89Q (8A, B3, 7A)
• Audi 100 C4 (4A2, C4)
• Audi A6 Quattro Coupé (80, 90, 100, 200)
• VW Golf and Passat series
• Seat Ibiza, León, and other models sharing the same head architecture

• Cupra models with compatible engine blocks

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Remove the valve cover and cylinder head. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly to remove old gasket material, oil residues, and debris.
2. Inspection: Check the valve cover and head for warping or damage. Replace any compromised components before proceeding.
3. Gasket Placement: Place the appropriate gasket from the 915.572 set onto the valve cover. Ensure it sits flush with the mounting flange.
4. Reassembly: Carefully reinstall the cylinder head, aligning it with the new gasket. Tighten bolts in a star pattern to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.
5. Final Checks: Verify that all fasteners are secure and that no gaps remain between the cover and head. Start the engine and monitor for leaks or abnormal temperatures.

Benefits of Choosing ELRING 915.572

• Reliability: Proven track record in high‑performance engines, reducing maintenance costs associated with seal failures.
• Durability: Long service life thanks to robust material selection and precise manufacturing tolerances.
• Performance Preservation: Maintains optimal engine compression and cooling efficiency by preventing fluid leaks.
• Compatibility Assurance: Designed for a broad range of models, eliminating the need for custom or aftermarket solutions.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Inspection: Check the valve cover gasket during routine maintenance intervals. Look for signs of oil seepage or coolant discoloration.
• Clean Surfaces: Keep mating surfaces free from rust and debris before reassembly to ensure a proper seal.
• Use Correct Torque: Over‑tightening can deform the gasket; under‑tightening may cause leaks. Follow torque charts specific to your engine model.
