Inlet Gasket Help Please

Been to pick up me inlet gasket and bolts from VW which I was hoping to fit. Now the gasket is the same one I refused from GSF as I thought it was wrong there.

Problem it has the 4 holes for the inlets and then an extra one just above. This is in between  the first and second one as if you were looking at the engine going from right to left.

After a good look there is actually the hole on the head which I presume the gasket goes around but my manifold doesn't have this on.

Gasket number 026 129 717 D

Manifold number is 049133223

Either I've got the worng manifold on the car some how, this hole don't matter or its the wrong gasket. Don't want to fit this one as I presume I'll get a bit of leak. Let me know please wanted this sorted the weekend so I can move on to the sump oil leak.

Don't worry - it'll fit - not sure why the extra bit is there to be honest - maybe to hold it while it is fitted

Mines the same as in this picture, but the gasket has a bit coming up as already explained.

Cheers mate, knew it would fit just didn't want to get any leaks. Right should have this on this afternoon with all new bolts.

Then got to work out why I've still got a slight oil leak from the cam end on the rocker, and also need to sort out the oil coming from the sump gasket that I must have over tightened to stop the leak in the first place.

Cheers crazy
