VW Exhaust Pipe Gasket - Genuine VW 1K0253115AG

Product Information

An exhaust pipe flange gasket is a sealing component placed between two sections of the exhaust system, typically where pipes or flanges are bolted together. It prevents exhaust gas leaks, reduces noise, and helps maintain proper backpressure for engine efficiency. Made from heat-resistant materials like graphite or metal composites, the gasket ensures a secure, long-lasting seal under extreme temperatures and vibrations.

• Loud exhaust noise, especially near the flange connection.
• Visible exhaust leaks or soot marks around the gasket area.
• Reduced engine performance or fuel efficiency, due to loss of proper exhaust flow.

About Genuine VW Audi

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VAG to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VAG” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VAG, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VAG Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VAG are not necessarily manufactured by VAG. No cause for concern, as VAG designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VAG for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VAG parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VAG logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
