Gaskets are my thing this week....bought a big set of gaskets and am try to work out what some of them are for.

Don't know what these 4 are...

Also why are there 2 fuel pump gaskets, and two (diff shaped) thermostat gaskets.

2 of each gasket?

Life with mystery...I guess it would be boring. But solving this mystery will make me happier.

Did you buy a universal A12-A15 set? If yes then you will have gaskets to cover all variations e.g thermostat housing differences on the A14 N10 motor and the A14 RWD motor. Just grab the ones you need - you always end up with extras in these multi packs.

The o-rings's for the dizzy, the bottom one looks like an oil pump, and I've always wondered what the other two are for too. Never needed them, but they've been included in every set I've bought thus far.

Hey there, the other two gaskets are for the EGR on an A15 motor. Adam

Yep spot on. Then the top one is for the stock fuel pump and the one in the middle also looks like a fuel pump gasket although it wont fit your A series.

I'd say the consensus is the top one if for a fuel pump (the shape looks just about right) - although there is another fuel pump gasket in the kit (in the other photo) and I have two of them.

The bottom does indeed look like an oil pump shaped gasket (although I have another oil pump gasket in the kit).

Middle one is reported as EGR here...we'll run with that.

The only mystery for me know is why I get two identical fuel pump gaskets? Maybe I'm expected to put both on, but I wouldn't think so

Thanks for the help guys.

Maybe on both sides of the fuel pump spacer?

The o ring is for the dizzy

the top right is for the EGR valve

The middle one is for the EGR passage (piece that attaches to the inlet mani and the EGR valve bolts onto it)

This I know for sure

2332 owner is right about the fuel pump, both sides of the spacer.

The thermostat housing gasket depends on if you have air injection or not. It will have 6 holes.

dizzy o ring , white one is for the oil pump ( only if you are splitting the body) the two gaskets go on either side of the fuel pump block.
and as for the extras it is cheaper to produce and stock one gasket kit to suit 4 engines than to have 4 gasket kits on the shelf
