1.6D Cylinder Head Gasket

[Dubwana]

Hi:

I'm having a bit of difficulty in sourcing a 1.6D ME (replacement) 1986 engine Cylinder head Gasket where I live. I know about the notches but does anyone know if they are interchangable with any other VW engines. I haven't actually got it apart yet, rather keep it going till I have the parts in hand. If I knew which other engine codes fit it may be easier as I don't think the ME was ever sold here in East Africa so they are having difficulty on listing the parts.

I've tried searching on the interne but can't find it.

Thanks,

Dubwana

Looks like this may be the part No. and what it was used on - I would double check first though.
