Rocker cover gasket

Post by dozzum »

I saw someone say on here thatif youbuy a new one from vw it's a rubber one and it comes with new studs.
Just phoned up and when he looked it up under an 82 DX engine it didn't say anything about studs.
I don't want to end up with another one that's going to leak.
Anyone bought one for a DX recently?

So if I get a mk3 golf one it will fit and the studs that come with it will fit aswell.

When I bought one for my GT it was a rubber one but my Gti seems to have a cork one.
