Headgasket replacement OE or spurious

[GSBellew]

I've to do the headgasket on my G40.

Would I be better ordering the VW repair kit or just getting a spurious head inlet and exhaust gasket?

If aftermarket / spurious what make is recommended?

Thanks!

personally for engine internals and things like that i would only use genuine items,
vw supply victor reinz head gaskets i think so you want one of them.

Elring is good stuff too.

I've just bought all elring stuff for my rebuild.

Who sells erling??

[woody02]

I bought mine from rs engine supplies in kent, everything for a complete engine rebuild

Elring do the G40 specific rocker gasket too

I think that genuine vw headgasket is goetze, but the other makes are very good too...

Got a genuine one, its made by Victor Reinz.

Not sure I need it now though as I did a compression test which seems ok in all cylinders
