samthegram 10 Posted March 2, 2010 can anyone help please? I have a 2ltr 16v 9a (m reg/dec '94) and am after a new rocker cover gasket. my rocker cover is the original one and has flat edge faces that sit against the gasket, the gasket from vw has rubber tabs that locate into hollow sections on the cover and doesn't fit mine. they say that is the only one available, does anyone know the part number i do need? :help: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted March 2, 2010 oooooh, that's different, prap's you have a mk3 style cam cover or something? edit: here you go: 16v-cam-cover-gasket.jpg[/attachment:1di61ow2] as I thought, 051 part is mk3 16v golf style Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samthegram 10 Posted March 2, 2010 yeah, the rocker cover looks exaclty like the one in the pic but the gasket in the pic will not fit as it has the lugs on. so are you saying that i might have a mk3 golf cover on a 9a engine? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted March 2, 2010 well, yes and no, you have a mk3 cover but that's because after a certain engine number (in the diagram) the 9a engine moved over to the mk3 16v style cam cover, you have a rubbish VW parts man, that's all :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted March 2, 2010 Change on engine number upto Engine No. 9A131460 uses 027198025 Anything afterwards uses the later 'ABF' gasket Can't see how VW got this wrong unless you have the wrong cam cover? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
