Is there a specific way that the gasket in the pic fits?
It's not flat, the circular part sticks out (depending how you hold it, it also dips in). Does this face the EGR valve or does it face the EGR pipe, or it doesn't matter at all?
The reason I ask is that I fitted the gasket tonight with the flange that sticks out facing the EGR pipe and I started the car and I can hear a whistling noise from the EGR and I'm almost positive it's the new gasket. At first I thought it was a leak - exhaust gasses escaping at the join of the EGR valve but that doesn't seem to be the case, I tested with some dishwash liquid around the join.
