Hi all, Looking for a bit of advice please!

 

I had my new head gasket the other day, its a 3 hole gasket as the old one was 3 so replacing like for like. My concern is, the little tab with the 3 holes stamped into it, when i removed the old one, the tab was furthest over to the right of the head (while looking at the engine from outside).

Ive noticed however on a few pics i've seen of other skoda's that the tab is on the LEFT side of the head, just behind the vaccum ball.....

There is nothing to say which way is up on the new gasket and I was going to put it on the same way it came off, but wanted to double check with others who may have noticed the same when changing their gaskets.

 

Thanks all.
