Part no enquiry - EGR gasket between cooler and EGR

[ArtD]

Hi there, I'm looking for a part no for gasket between cooler and EGR - I plan to recover EGR rather than replace it, but nowhere can find the part no for the below element (see red/yellow indication). thx


I assume it should look something similar to this:




but how to get part no for it?

I cleaned and rebuilt one of these as a feasibility test - not worth the effort due to the hours of labour needed.
The only place I found the gasket advertised was Brazil, it’s NBR coated stainless steel.
I didn’t try and purchase as I had no plans to use it anyway.
I rebuilt the unit using the old gasket with a thin coating of Rocol Steamseal paste, good for a max’ of 600 deg C.
I pressure tested the gas and water side and no leaks.
Sitting in my workshop as a ‘paper weight’.

If the tubes are full of carbon you can’t get the chemical through, I needed to drill out each one with a long series drill bit, PITA. The header is also going to be solid with hard carbon.

Good luck, factor in the cost of a LS drill bit (not cheap), about 15 cans on Mr Muscle oven cleaner and a set of 10 brass tube brushes.
Plus 2 days of your life you’ll never get back.
If the gasket leaks it will allow coolant into the engine with the potential for a hydraulic lock. Make sure you pressure test.

similar tale from me...i pulled it all apart confident i could clean it out and save some cash, but once apart and an hour or so in, i realised it wasnt worth the effort/risk of continuing and just bought a new one.

A cooler or a valve?

both. One week in bath with daily checks and will be clean like new- at the end use some egr foam (if egr electric fault then it wouldn't make sense but if only issue with flow then no problem). I will report before and after

Hi, not sure whether this is an exact match but two part numbers are mentioned for gaskets here depending on the type of turbo.
