When I took my downpipe off I replaced the gasket. IIRC it was about £8  :happy2:

IMO it's best practice to replace it...

I reused my old one as TPS and VW didn't have any in stock when I fitted my exhaust.

Ideally I should of changed it but I couldn't wait for them to get one as I had already booked the ramps for fitting the exhaust

W1K0 253 115AB - Is this the correct exhaust gasket part number for a K04 turbo edition 30?

Just need to drop the W at the start of that part number, not sure why that's there...

Ko3 and ko4 use the same part  :happy2:

I did think they were the same but thought I'd check as it's not worth the risk.

Thanks.
