Did my EGR delete!

Just purchased the required parts to delete the EGR and cooler from my Jetta (darkside kit). Plan to clean the intake manifold and ASV while I'm at it. I shouldn't need any gaskets if I'm careful, correct?

My inlet mani gasket was a metal one, which is re-useable but that was on the Polo TDI which is an 8v. Yours may be different!

If you have the rubber oring style gasket in yours, you can put Loctite Maxi Gray on the old oring gasket, but it is better to replace it with the new one (not expensive).

As Miro suggests new gaskets are stupidly cheap from VW, my GT TDI inlet one between the mani and head was only $8!!

That said, if an o-ring looks fine, I just reuse it, so long as it is still round in cross section and sticks out from the face, when they get compressed level they will no longer seal and need to be replaced
