Currently, this pertains to my 2013 that im in the middle of doing the oil cooler seals on.
While I was in there, I noticed that the mid-section gasket on the EGR cooler had some coolant weeping. So I split the cooler and found a compromised gasket. Seemed like no issue to get the gasket, until it arrived.
This is part number 059-131-599-G pictured below, which is the exact image of the gasket I need.
Which looks identical to this which is installed:
BUT, the actual gasket that everyone stocks is actually this one here, which I received:
Here is the actual housing of the small unit that the gasket fits
By looking at ebay images and date codes, it seems that the early EGR coolers had this gasket, 2011ish. After 2012, they changed the cooler and its the new gasket that is pictured but not stocked.
Does anyone have any insight on this? I'm considering going with anaerobic sealer on the mating faces and disabling the EGR.
