i went to vauxhall parts to day to pick up the gasket needed for my precat which ive booked into tommorrow to get put on,the gasket is for the precat which clamps to the turbo,anyway because vauxhall are shit dealers,they have got me the wrong part and they cant get me the right part for 2 day..great..

anyway ive heard that i might not need to get a gasket as the precat might seal itself to the turbo,,,any help at all because i dont want to drive to the garage and then they tell me i need the gasket...

thanks

Hi mate, I bought the gasket just incase.

Ended up not using it, sealed fine. :rolleyes:

The correct part number is 90424370 for the Turbo Gasket and the Exhaust Flange is 13101735
