OE 022103383M — Cylinder Head Gasket for Audi

Bulk pricing is tiered: 10 pieces, 50 pieces and full-carton quantities each carry a different unit rate. Piece price also moves with packing format and whether your own brand is printed on the carton, so tell us the landed quantity you are planning.

Aftermarket cylinder head gasket comes from tooling houses that hold the original drawings or licensed equivalents. KingMay sources from vetted factories and inspects each batch; the manufacturer name is available on request where your market requires origin documentation.

Three checks: the code printed on your old part must read 022103383M; the number must fall inside the build-year range in the Applications table; and the connector, thread or bolt pattern must match the reference photo. Codes cast into the housing are the most reliable source.

Position depends on the platform. On most Audi applications the cylinder head gasket sits on the engine & fuel system assembly and can be reached from the engine bay or the underbody without removing the dashboard. Torque figures and disassembly order are given in the workshop manual for each model.

For a short distance at reduced load, usually yes — but the risk compounds. A degraded cylinder head gasket transfers stress to neighbouring components, so a small repair can grow into a full engine & fuel system rebuild. Book the replacement once the symptom is repeatable.

Report it with the order number and packing-list line plus photographs. Because every carton is photographed before loading, we can trace the batch immediately and settle the claim against the inspection record instead of arguing from memory.
