Quick question chaps, what's the difference between fuel pressure regulator gaskets? Mines leaking like a dripping tap and Ive seen a couple on eBay but can't see what the differences are

In a nutshell: you need a gasket to suit the regulator which depends if it's 10p or 15p engine, so MSX100080 is for 10P(regulator with 1 pipe) and MSX000010 for 15P(regulator with 2 pipes) if you google them out and watch images you can see the difference in how the holes are on them

The 2 pipes, are they the ones coming out at 90 degrees to the housing and then the 3rd is the one that goes to the front of the block?

If you have a third pipe going to the front of the head then you have the later type of FPR. Are you sure it's coming from the actual gasket and not the regulator itself?

+1 to what Landmark said.
Usually the leak is from the actual regulator itself, but its almost impossible to change without removing the regulator housing, so you will need a gasket. Make sure you only replace the regulator with a genuine Bosch one, or it will leak again in no time. If youre still not sure what gasket you can get a set of both here

or the same guy does individual ones as well.
I buy my Bosch regulators from here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-...60575-AUDI-80-100-A4-A6-A8-V8-TT/321688426190

or here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bosch-OE...6-V8-VW-Golf-Passat-T5-Vento-VR6/171415102772
Just found this too, even cheaper

Bought mine from Amazon and came in a Bosch box. A month after I replaced it I have a leak again and I need to check if it is coming from the regulator itself or the gasket...
