lupogtiboy Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 No gasket on these, its a sealant, VW part number D 188 003 A1. Stupidly expensive at £88.80 inc vat, I'm sure someone will say there is a cheaper alternative though.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welshlupo Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 As with any 'instant gasket', cleanliness is critical and follow the instructions carefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObjectiveAway Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 Also screw replacement is a must have in vw workshop manual. The wrong way to solve it, and to avoid screw repacement, is to shorten all the screws by about 2mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
