[s-cars] Gasket/Seal for Heater Box

[Tom Green]

431 819 225 is the part number for the Audi part, Bob.

It is a foam strip adhesive on one side.  The foam is impregnated with some butyl 
rubber that takes a set when compressed and makes a water tight seal.  I ordered
the part twice for a replacement but it was only 138MM in length, too short for the 
airbox perimeter.  Finally local dealer ordered quantity 2 in order to have enough and
the price remained the same because of some manipulation there.

I would just be sure that any replacement part will make a secure waterproof seal 
since that plenum sees a lot of water
