Thanks for the link - yes i did mean the tubes

Just a note if anyone has a 2.0 Aircooled, you don't need telescopic as tubes can be changed via rocker covers. As to why VW didn't keep that feature on the watercooled we can only speculate....

They didn't put it on the 1.6 Aircooled either... Much to my disappointment!

got 1.9 petrol, pushrod tubes sorted my oil leak

Don't forget Status got robbed of most of their stock not long back so may not be available?


Plus they're cheaper from Machine7 and CSP.
£23.50 each.

nice one steve.i knew i had seen them for a lot less than £42.75.

Hi Steve, Rob and everyone that posted - just ordered Telescopic Push Rod Tubes from Machine 7 - doing a complete set of 8 tubes for £129.50 incl VAT and delivery thats a bit over £16.00 each good one Part number if anyone interested is 030.452.40 and they are in stock

Whats wrong with the spring loaded ones which are £60ish for a set of 8 from http://www.vwheritage.com/bbt/Aftermark ... 11-109-335


Or even the adjustable ones on the same page for £63 for 8

And better quality. Must admit most of the other bits on that page are in my bug

Personally, at £129 I'd strip the heads but for just over £60 I wouldn't bother.

The spring loaded ones at VW heritage are not available at the moment - apparently they have stopped making them (not sure if this is true or not)
