T4 P1 Exhaust Manifold Gasket Type

[bar72]

hi all, phoned to order an exhaust manifold gasket for the T4 today and the parts department at D&A autofactors reckoned there was 2 different types of gasket, one with 4 holes in it and one which was a single hole with 2 bolt holes? Assuming the latter, that would be 4 different gaskets?

anyone shed any light on the correct gasket, photo would be appreciated also so when i go to collect the gasket i can compare it instead of finding out when i have the car stripped down. thanks in advance

If it helps?....when performance owners replace this gasket some use the V50 one which is made of steel and does resist blowing more easily.

Of course it is from the 5 cylinder model so one hole is cut or hacksawed off the gasket first making sure you cut the correct end off just incase they are one way only!!

It will help assembly instead of four smaller gaskets.
