079121043B Volkswagen GASKET

This little gasket seals the connection where the coolant leaves the engine, specifically at the coolant flange. It prevents coolant from leaking out where the flange connects to the engine block or cylinder head. It’s really just a sealing barrier, ensuring everything stays contained and the system works as it should. Think of your engine’s cooling system as a circulatory system – coolant’s gotta flow to prevent overheating. The coolant output flange is part of that flow path, a crucial exit point. This gasket sits right there, making sure that coolant doesn't escape where it shouldn't. It’s a fairly small part, but it’s right in the thick of things, constantly exposed to heat and pressure. If this gasket fails, you'll probably start seeing coolant leaks. Even a small leak can cause a lot of trouble. Coolant is corrosive, so over time it can damage other engine components. More immediately, losing coolant will cause your engine to overheat, and that can lead to very expensive repairs. You’ll notice if it starts leaking, usually as a puddle under the car or sometimes you’ll smell the coolant itself. It acts like a shield protecting the engine from the damaging effects of leaks. They don’t last forever though; heat cycles and age eventually cause them to degrade. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and it’s something a lot of DIY folks can tackle without too much trouble, though always check a repair manual for specific instructions for your vehicle. Worry-free performance: Coolant Output Flange Gasket (MPN 079121043B) is covered for 12 months!
