Where can I get gasket without buying whole engine kit?

Post by sonic23 »

Hi there,
Got a 2 litre Aircooled and I need to replace the gaskets that fit between the heatexchangers and the cylinder heads. The only place I can see them is in a full engine gasket kit and that looks like it will cost £50, so want to avoid this option if possible....

cheers,
Rich

Main dealer :!:
They have had everything for my water cooled D.G. not sure on Aircooled, order by 12 (best to go in) and if it is in stock collect next day. The dealer won't have it but they have a big depot in M.K. :wink:
It's nothing a great deal of time and money can't fix

Vee W is on 0117 941 8641.

It's nice to support local businesses where ever you can, especially one that stocks quite a lot of older VW stuff.
