Hi all,
Made the mistake of changing the rocker cover gasket on my 2001 AMF, without realising the gaskets available nowadays are intended for the later 1.4 TDI covers. Original gasket was leaking and is long gone, new gasket is leaking even worse than before so I'm looking for a fix.
Part number 045103469G seems to be the only one available new these days.
Looking at the difference in prices between new aftermarket and OEM second hand, I'd prefer a second hand OEM one if possible, but are they generally bulletproof in terms of ageing badly, or prone to warping for example?
Also, are the Polo/Ibiza/Skoda variants a direct fit for the A2?
Would be great to hear if anyone has any first hand experience of making the change from the older type to revised, my research has turned up inconclusive results.
Cheers!
