The TSI engines differ from previous VW engines in that they use a liquid gasket sealant instead of a physical valve cover gasket. This is because they do not have a simple valve cover. The cover is actually a cam girdle and is a functional part of the engine. Due to this difference, you cannot simply remove the cam girdle and install a new rubber gasket. You must instead seal it using a special anaerobic sealant.
Even though we offer this kit, we still highly recommend that you do this job the proper way and replace all of the seals and gaskets that must be removed when performing this service. If you are looking for the complete version of this kit, please choose from one of the options below.
Kit Includes:
- D154103A1 - 1x Elring High Temp Sealant
- N10554005 - 22x Cam Girdle Bolts
Only High Quality, Proven Service Parts from our Professional Service Team
These are some of the same parts that both of our professional service centers use when re-sealing the cam girdle on Audi and VW vehicles equipped with a 2.0T TSI engine. Remember, unlike other online stores, we actually service these vehicles and will only sell you proven parts that we have tested in the real world.
You also might have noticed that we don't use RTV or Dirko sealant with this kit. We don't include it because it's technically not the correct sealant for this job. Once again, other online stores include this because they don't actually perform service work. We only use anaerobic sealant from Elring. Unlike RTV (Dirko), anaerobic sealant will not harden and fall into your oil system, which can clog up oil passages and screens.
