Re: Oil Pan Gasket (16V)



It's a 16V motor from a Passat. There are three layers with the inner part being aluminum. I'm not sure from what the outer parts are made. Does this make it a rubber gasket? I wanna make sure cuz yer right, oil pan gaskets are a PITA to replace.
 
SO, the consensus is that I can re-use it? TIA

The older A3 gaskets are reusable, they are rubber with metal inserts. The paper gaskets are not and you are asking for a world of trouble if you do considering what a PITA it is to some of those damn pan bolts in. It will leak.

Are the oil pan gaskets (I have an aluminum one) on the 16V reusable? My dad seems to think so. I would like to think so but I'm not sure. TIA
