My 200Tdi needs a new head gasket but I have been offered a choice of 4 or 5. How do I find out what thickness and/or how many holes in the gasket are needed so I can order one (elring seems the way to go) - does the head have to come off first?
cheers

There will be a tab sticking out from your old gasket with holes in identifying thickness. Vac pump side of engine I think.
Most just use the thickest for convenience.
