and the ebay one is slightly cheaper from here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-A3-A4-A6-TT-VALVE-ROCKER-HEAD-BOX-COVER-GASKET-SEAL-058198025A-1-8-PETROL-/190737836112

Deffo replace the tensioner gasket/seal at the same time and apply a drop of gasket seal on both as per :-

Its a good excuse to clean up and paint your rocker cover too :grin:

Post by: karls3abo on 29 October 2012, 20:57: Brilliant, thanks just ordered both :) looking forward to the weekend already! I have a feeling that the cover gasket may be leaking as I have had a bit of oil in the bottom of one of my plugs, hoping this is causing the misfire under boost, got a bit of a tapping noise when the revs drop suddenly when revving, and also at a certain amount of revs. If this isn't it I'm not sure what it is! Replaced the maf ignition amp all the plugs next is the coil packs.

Thanks for you help muchly appreciated :)
