Classic Audi Head Gaskets Need Identification.

[MikeH]

Years ago I bought a small job lot of VW and Audi parts because it had a couple of things I needed - it includes some Elring head gaskets that are marked VW/Audi/NSU

I've searched online for the part numbers, but they're out of date and not recognised by the Elring catalogue. I wondered if anyone would recognise them from the pictures. I don't want to throw them out if they might be useful to someone.

The packages say 'West Germany' on them, so they're 1980s or earlier.

I've stripped and built a few engines from the 1980s VW ranges, and none of the gaskets looked like these, so I'm thinking it's early stuff - maybe 60s or 70s?

If they're discontinued it would be a shame to waste them. Does anyone have a very old Elring catalogue kicking around?

Some pics...

















Some of them are quite distinctive designs. Not sure if anyone will recognise them.

I think the 256.056 is an Audi 50 1100cc, from searching in german. I'm thinking that's the same as a VW polo from a similar era, so still readily available. I'm unlikely to ever need that, so if anyone wants it, bung me a fiver and it's yours.
