I remeber Reading that cam covet gaskets are v40 specific I got one gasket with y headset I bought from gsf just wondered what's the difference is it somthing tiny and insignificant or do I definantly need the correct g40 gasket ??
they have a metal insert in them on the flats... not essential no - but much better quality. However they are like £25 from vw!
Cheers pete
So you reckon there better?
When i got one from euro car parts it lasted about 5 mins. It was the correct one, so they said.
How much are they from GSF? I just got one from vw, cost me £16.70 plus vat.
yeah they dont wobble about when you fit them. At vw i said - man... they are dear! the mechanic behind parts guy said to me - yeah they are all shit so use blue gasket on them and reuse your old one! so thats what i do
when you say blue gasket do you mean like blue hylomar stuff and you just slap some on both sides of the gasket before fitting it ??
yes and yes
ye i had this trouble when i last had my g in bits got new gasket from pages i think and just straight leaked out, so used some instant gasket stuf wich worked for a bit but it dosent set so pushed it out eventualy, so got some werthsilicon sealer and that worked a treat
