Rocker Gasket
« on: 13 July 2011, 10:35 »
Hi guys,

Got my new rocker gasket delivered yesterday from europarts.

Put the my reg in and selected the gasket.

However, the sticker on the packet shopws engine codes, however does not show AGG for under 2.0.

I believe my engine is a AGG (2.0 8v). I would not think there me much of a difference between the 8v engines on the size/design on the gasket.

Was going to try and fit any anyway. Does anyone know if it should be ok presumming I have an AGG engine.

Thanks

Should be a rubber type gasket.

Just take the old one off and compare it to the new one if your unsure. If it is the wrong type they are cheap as chips to buy  :smiley:

Europrats can be a bit cr@p with parts, so DON'T attempt to fit it unless it looks the same as your old one, otherwise they won't gve your money back. Have you got a pic of it, I've just done mine (AGG) so I know what it looks like.

Count your lucky stars if it is the wrong one, so you can take it back. Get it from a dealers anyway, only a couple of quid more and it will be much better quality, much a much better fit. Aftermarket ones tend to leak a little.  :smiley:

as Wayne says should be a hard plastic with metal in the casing all in 1 piece ,not like the old where it cam in 3 piece's ,also check old before putting new 1 on euoparts are crap as they give out wrong parts out and it's best to get the right 1 from the dealers for a couple of quid more. :smiley: :cool: :smug:
