Carb flange/gasket for 1.8 8v

Post by M4tty69 »

Hi all,

How much should i be paying for a genuine rubber carb flange/gasket??

i have seen some cheap ones on ebay for around £15 but have heard bad things about them

also where is a good place to get one form? i tried going to my local vw place and they said about £60 :/

Cheers

If VW are charging £60 for 1 I would get the cheaper one as you can buy 4 for the same price as VW!
