Audi 2.0 TFSI (CAE / CDN Engine) Complete Gasket Overhaul Set | Top & Bottom End

Description

If your Audi 2.0 TFSI (EA888 Gen 2 engine codes CAE or CDN) is leaving oil spots on the driveway, burning coolant, or losing compression due to hardened, failing seals, a complete gasket overhaul is essential. We supply comprehensive top-and-bottom-end gasket and seal sets engineered specifically for the longitudinal Audi A4, A5, and Q5 platforms utilizing the CAE/CDN powerplants.

Unlike cheap partial kits that leave you scrambling for missing o-rings halfway through a build, our overhaul sets include every vital seal required to completely reseal the engine block and cylinder head, preventing frustrating return leaks.

• Complete Overhaul Coverage: Includes cylinder head gasket, valve stem seals, intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, front and rear crankshaft seals, valve cover gasket, oil pan sealant/gaskets, and all necessary minor o-rings and crush washers.

• Thermal Resilience: Manufactured from high-grade multi-layer steel (MLS) and premium fluoroelastomer (Viton) rubber designed to withstand the intense heat cycles and turbo boost pressures of the EA888 Gen 2 engine.

• Condition: Brand new, premium aftermarket or OE-spec replacement kit manufactured to strict dimensional tolerances for a leak-free seal.

Critical Considerations for EA888 Gen 2 Overhaul:

• Engine Code Matching: Audi used slight variations across the CAE (e.g., CAEB) and CDN (e.g., CDNC) engine families. Providing your VIN is essential to confirm whether your specific build requires the early or late cylinder head gasket thickness and timing cover seal profiles.

• Head Bolts Are Torque-To-Yield (TTY): Cylinder head and main girdle bolts on the CAE/CDN engines are stretch bolts. Always replace them with new bolts during assembly; reusing old TTY bolts can lead to head gasket failure or stripped block threads.

• Surface Preparation: Ensure the aluminum cylinder head and engine block mating surfaces are meticulously cleaned and checked for warp using a straightedge before laying down the new multi-layer steel head gasket.

Workshop Pro-Tip: Mind the rear main seal alignment! The rear crankshaft seal on the EA888 Gen 2 often comes with a specialized plastic alignment sleeve. Do not remove this sleeve until the seal housing is pressed onto the crankshaft. If the inner lip rolls over during installation, it will leak engine oil immediately, forcing you to pull the transmission all over again!

Key Features:

• Model-Specific: Precision-engineered for longitudinal Audi 2.0 TFSI CAE and CDN engine configurations.

• All-in-One Kit: Eliminates the hassle of sourcing individual gaskets for a complete engine teardown.

• Quality Assured: Built to resist oil degradation, coolant erosion, and high operating temperatures.
