gasket

Ive got a gasket for the valve cover, just wondering do i need to use any type of sealant when i fit this or does it slot straight in?

Morning All - i am new to this site, so please be gentle with me :scary: I have just noticed coffee colored gunk in my oil filler cap, and assuming that the head gasket has blown. My car is a 1600 Petrol Altea with sub 40k miles. Seat have said that they have not heard of a Head Gasket...

Hi. I'm looking for some ideas of costs from you guys. I have a 2002 Leon Cupra 180 with a stage 1 remap taking the brake up to 210. I left my car in for service today with a highly recommended, independent mechanic near my area in Dublin. The car has had the Engine Diagnostic warning light...

i have recently changed the oil and oil filter and coolant, and went to check the coolant bottle today to find the dreaded mayonaise in the water bottle, does that indicate that the head gasket has gone? any1 know off a rough price? its a mk2 ibiza 1.6s (abu) cheers lads

My wifes leon cupra (AUQ) has just started leaking oil from the rocker gasket. I've got one on order. Just wondering has anyone changed one before? What is the tightening sequence for the bolts? Will I need some gasket sealent? Many thanks.

Baiscly does the inlet mani have a gasket? The reason i ask is that if the weather holds out in the morning im wanting to whip it off and get it polished up, I dont want to remove it and find theres a gasket and not have a new one to put on. Cheers.

Hi, i was thinking of getting a New south power gasket for my FR 20 vt. To hopefully reduce intake temps in the manifold. what I would like to know, is this a worth while exercise, or is it a complete waste of money. Also will it give any more power ?. If any body has any ideas please let me...

Found the No2 Spark plug swimming in oil so can only assume it's the headgasket gone, anyone had it done, & what did it cost?

At what age/mileage can a head gasket start to go?? I was just wondering as my car is 9 years old and has 98,600 miles on the clock and there are no signs of it starting to go. Thanks in advance.

had problems with having no heat on my 1.4, took to the garage yesterday and changed the thermostat and couldn't find anything wrong took back today and flushed heater matrix out and was fine, revved engine with water bottle top off and was chucking water out the top so air in the system...

This post is for my mate as he needs advice on a new part. His FR is currently running Revo stage 2, however he's been having problems with his turbo gasket, since the remap, he's already had a new gasket under his warrenty, however, it seems like its on its way out again. :doh: Does...

Arse! :censored: :censored: :censored: The (ATP supplied) exhaust manifold to turbo gasket has failed on my car. I can see a 9mm wide gap where a piece is missing. A little too much power methinks. :rolleyes: Please could I have an informed suggestion on what I should use as a replacement...

I replaced my rocker cover gasket a couple of weeks ago and after removing the manifold and rocker cover I noticed that the new gasket set had a ridge all the way around. It looked like it should have fitted into a groove on the lip of the cover but there wasn't one! I trimmed this lip off...

just wandering if you can get a better gasket than the standard one you can buy for a fiver? looked on various sites and haven't come across one? cheers

Hi. Im new to forums and have found them really useful in helping to diagnose my problem. We have had a 1996 Ibiza CLS 1.4 8v for about a month now and I think the head gasket may have blown or is partially blown. There is quite a bit of white vapour from the exhaust when started from cold and...

Hi everyone! Been talking to a few of the mk3 boys and they seem to be using these "Power Gaskets" which basically prevent so much warm air going into the engine via the inlet manifold. As the inlet manifold goes over the top of the engine you could imagine how warm the air going into the...

Hi, i have been reading through the forum and have seen a few posts on this problem. Basically, my leon has gunk on the underside of the oil filler cap. Now, I have read that short journeys can cause this and that it is just condensation. I cleaned it off a few days ago and when I checked...
