NewYallDiesel Engine Valve Cover Gasket for VW Beetle 1998-2006, Golf 1999-2006, Jetta 1999-2005 1.9 TDI

Had to trim one of the grooves on the gasket to get a good fit. Gasket worked great but what a pita to get the old one off. I took out the plastic insert inside the valve cover, and used a map torch to heat up the top side and scraped out the old gasket with a flatbread and used a dremmel to clean the little stuff out. I rtv’d then stuck the gasket it and it went it really easy. Out of 100% 10% of my time was disassembly, 80% preparation for new gasket, 10% assembly

I put this on my alh to repair some leaks. The allignment bumps had to be trimmed and it would have been impossible to put it on without RTV. It did seem to take care of my issues though.

This gasket needs to be slightly trimmed in one of the grooves. It also is slightly too short for the other groove. High temp Oil resistant gasket maker should be used to successfully install this gasket; to hold the gasket in and fill the small portions it is missing. 7/10

Ease of installment wasnt the gaskets fault. These are supposed to be none replacement parts. The valve cover gasket is glued to the valve cover. Part cane as expected. Great value.

It's a valve cover gasket..... goes on a valve cover like it describes

it fits. Note VW glues the old one in so be ready to spend some time cleaning up the groove. also get some glue to glue it in before installing.

seals good

If your Volkswagen is a diesel with the engine code ALH don’t bother buying this piece of junk, It’s the only valve cover with the gasket built in. Unless you wanna waste your time destroying the valve cover to try to get this blue then… DONT BUY THIS OR SEND BACK AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!! You’re going to need a whole new valve cover to fix this issue
