I picked this kit up for a 2005 VW 1.8T GTI with Manual Transmission with 167K miles. No more oil leaking into my spark plugs or leaking out of the valve cover.While the gasket fit my car without any issues and has fixed the oil leaking issues I had. 1 of the 4 corners of my gasket was slightly bent. The bend was only slight but noticeable. I do not know if this was done during while it was stored at my house, during shipping or some other time. I have not noticed the performance being affected by this.BEWARE! This kit has the 2 main gaskets to do the job. These cars ALSO have a second set of gaskets that are NOT included with this kit. A flat metal gasket and a rubber half moon gasket. These gaskets under the timing chain and you will need a timing chain tensioner to replace these gaskets. The dealer and shops will replace all 4 gaskets. Some DIY'ers will not. It is your choice if you only do 2 vs all 4. You'll also need to pickup gasket sealer for the corners. Personally, I found the additional flat gasket and halfmoon gasket online for only a few dollars so I am not sure why they wouldn't have included it with this kit. I can't see the price being changed by much. Other sellers include these but not all do.

Fit a 2005 Jetta 1.8L L4 Turbo.Says to apply gasket maker to 4-6 sections in the most confusing and unclear way. (Will update with photo if I can find the paper.)But was along the lines of "where the 4 plugs meet at a 90 degree angle and the two semi-circular areas."That was it.Like I woulda been happy with a photocopied hand drawing, I was also under the impression you arent supposed to use gasket makes with these. :|

Works great, great quality, came with instructions if you are unsure of how to do it. Not the first fel pro product and not the last that i will buy. Worth the money.

It looked used from the first glance. But it's not. the sides have soft metal reinforcements inside - but this is VW design for you. The job is very easy. Can be done under 30 min if you know what you are doing

I can comfortably say that this set meets or exceeds quality of the genuine VW / Audi gasket set.Better than Elring (more crush), and WAY better than Victor Reinz (these suffer heat fatigue prematurely).One odd thing - the set includes the half moon seal that sits beneath the camshaft adjuster unit, but does NOT include the adjuster unit gasket. So.... Basically an extra part that you can only use if you reuse or replace the cam adjuster base gasket.No big deal. Maybe they'll update the kit at some point.

Being a weekender DIYer and not a mechanic by any means just watched online how to replace the gasket on my 2002 Passat I replaced the gasket took awhile to perform but that's what you do is learn how to do this type of work on your car was a little tedious but went well and the gasket was a perfect fit no more valve leak no more oil in spark plug wells all good 👍

This was a perfect fit for a 2001 Audi A4 Quattro 1.8T. Nice compliant rubber compared to the stiff and leaking set that I took out. It was leaking so bad that I burned 1L of oil every 1000 miles, and there were oil puddles in the spark plug wells. VW/Audi should have used a different gasket design for the spark plug wells - I can see these flat seals leaking again.This set came with a small sheet reminding me to add a thin coat of RTV to the corners and half moon. The only thing I wished it had was a torque sequence and torque values. I Googled the torque value and got 7 ft-lbs as the generally accepted value.

My car was emitting an occasional burned oil smell when I accelerated quickly. Upon inspection, I noticed oil stains all around the engine valve cover and inside the spark plug holes. I decided to change the gaskets and spark plugs at the same time. For the spark plugs, I went with original equipment: NGK (6458) PFR6Q Laser Platinum Spark Plugs.For instructions and tips on changing the gaskets, I used you tube. There are many videos so pick a few to become familiar with potential obstacles that will be encountered while removing the valve cover. Just make sure to remove bolts, screws, and hoses whenever possible instead of just bending things out of the way. This will help to prevent any unfortunate mishaps with broken parts.Anyway, once the valve cover is removed, I cleaned as much of the dirty oil buildup from all parts that I could including the mating surfaces of the engine and valve cover. I especially made sure not to allow any dirt or other foreign material to fall into the open engine.Installation at this point is simple; however, since parts of the gaskets are rigid, it will need to be installed onto the valve cover screws evenly. It does not need a lot of force so just work it back on carefully.The 9 valve cover nuts should be tightened in a criss cross fashion to ensure even pressure applied across the valve cover. The nuts need to be tightened to a torque of 7ft lbs. I didn't have a torque wrench small enough so I just made sure to tighten evenly and to not apply to much pressure - 7ft lbs. is not a lot of torque so be certain to not over tighten.The quality of the Fel-Pro gaskets appeared to be at least as good as the original gaskets that I replaced and fit perfectly as well. I would definitely recommend.
