VR6 Rocker Cover Re-Fitting

[Conker]

Is the gasket the same for the later type cover. 

There are two gasket types, one for late, one for early VR6.

I asked the VW desk for the later, and I've got 021103483D, (the other one is listed as 021103483B), but etka online isn't very clear as to which is the later one and which is earlier one.

What year is yours?

What year is yours?

1995, but with the Rado's its easy to tell which is late and early:  Early had metal rocker covers, late had plastic.

Looking @ vagcat.

021103483D gasket is for M 014 001>>*
 
I would guess that is the later type.

I've just checked the packet, and the gasket I was given was 021 103 483 B.   

Does anyone know how to interpret VAG.com to tell if that is definitely the wrong one?

Bugger, I think I've got the wrong one - this link says it the "D" gasket for plastic covers:  http://www.mjmautohaus.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=2_6_15_42_112_1777&info=OEM_VAG_021103483D_Valve_Cover_Gasket_Late_VR6_OEM&products_id=2007


Crap.


EDIT:   This link disagrees, Arrghh!:  http://www.bahnbrenner.com/vw_audi/products/967/VR6_Valve_Cover_Gasket

As per my post D is the later type.
