How do I ensure I am buying the correct gasket?

Carefully check the part number (688.422) against your vehicle's requirements and consult your vehicle's service manual or a professional mechanic. Verify engine type (1.5 dCi) and specific model compatibility.

Troubleshooting

Engine overheating after installation.

Verify the cooling system is properly bled and filled. Check for any external coolant leaks around the gasket area. Ensure the cylinder head bolts were torqued correctly in the sequence specified by the manufacturer.

Visible white smoke from exhaust.

This may indicate coolant entering the combustion chamber. Re-check installation torque and ensure all mating surfaces were perfectly clean and flat.

Loss of engine power or rough idling.

Confirm correct gasket installation and torque sequence. A leak in compression can cause these symptoms. Re-inspect the cylinder head and block surfaces for flatness.

External coolant or oil leaks around the cylinder head.

Ensure all fasteners are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque. Check for any debris or damage on the sealing surfaces of the cylinder head and engine block.
