Is there such a thing as a TB gasket? Someone is working on my car and said I should order one - he isnt a TDI mechanic but has a lot of experience with diesel motors (Mann diesels for boats/ships). I looked on metalmanparts and idparts but dont see any

thanks

"O" ring

Digdug,

There is a large "O" ring that is between the air intake manifold, and the EGR/Antishudder intake assembly. I had to replace mine recently because I saw oily goo coming from that area. When I went to replace the "O" ring I NOTICED THAT IT WAS EXTREMELY BRITTLE, LIKE HARD PLASTIC, AND NOT LIKE RUBBER. I guess that would certainly cause a leak :) I also had to replace the EGR tube gaskets since I removed the EGR/antishudder intake assembly to replace the "O" ring. I got mine from the dealer, and it was 13.00 or so.
