Looking briefly through the various options I have come across 3 different makes of audi s2/rs2 headgaskets.
Elring
Victor reinz
Goetze
Pete from Quattro corner has verified that victor reinz is the manufacturer of the OEM audi gasket. I was never aware of the goetze one and given the fact that the same make is used for the piston rings I am wondering if that is the actual manufacturer of the gasket as well. Also the goetze gasket I found on ebay was twice the price of the other 2.
Audi sells the gasket alone at 142 euro, Victor reinz can be found at 50£, goetze at 120 euro although a German shop is selling it at 68ish+shipping.
Does anyone have any inside information or is it a well known fact of victor reinz being the OEM maker?
