Hi all, what is the correct head gasket for 1990 200tdi, looked on eBay and some listings say that the 300tdi will fit, bit confused.

same gasket as 300tdi ,you just need to decide if you need 1,2 or 3 hole

Are heads always skimmed by a certain amount? Hense the 1,2 or 3 holes?

no not allways ,gasket thicknesses are for the variance in heights of pistons above block face engine by engine ,valve seats can be cut to counter amount skimmed off head
