I could not tell you. I opted to go for the OEM goop this time around versus the VR stuff. I have Reinzosil here at the house, box is different than the OEM stuff. I have not opened the OEM stuff yet to reseal the timing covers, I will report back as soon as my head studs are here.

002.959.45.20 is the part number.

FWIW, OE head gasket by Elring is smoother than the aftermarket Elring available. I doubt the MB stuff is the same as the stuff by VR.
