Reseal the exhaust gas recirculation valve and keep recirculated exhaust following its intended path with the Standard Ignition EGR Valve Gasket VG188. It's a direct-fit replacement for a range of Subaru and Saab applications, including the 2007-2010 Subaru Forester, 2003-2010 and 2012-2015 Subaru Legacy, 2001-2010 and 2012-2015 Subaru Outback, 2003-2006 Subaru Baja, 2007-2011 Subaru Impreza, 2010-2011 Subaru Tribeca, and 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine-level fitment.
A hardened, cracked, or leaking EGR gasket can let exhaust gas escape at the valve flange and may contribute to a hissing/ticking leak or an EGR-related trouble code. If a failed mounting gasket is the cause, this replaces it — diagnose the leak first, since these symptoms can have other sources. Replace the gasket whenever the EGR valve is removed for service.
