Title: ABU/AEE/AEA engines all the same?
Post by: mike-a on 28 September 2010, 07:48

I'm looking for a head gasket set for my 94 Vento with a 1.6 ABU engine but am mostly finding gaskets for AEA/AEE 1.6 engines.Are all three basically the same bar slight tweaks made over the production life? All are 75 bhp and roughly same torque.Will AEA/AEE gaskets fit my ABU?
Thanks

nope sorry! Not that expensive from VW though:
032 103 383 G - Head gasket, ABU - 25.35+VAT

Thanks John.Wonder what difference is then? Full set of gaskets for the cylinder head is £40ish from Euro Car Parts.Might just get set and skim head to be on safe side.
