Rocker Cover Gasket Replacement

Model: Audi A3 8P, MK 2 - Years 2003-2013
Part: Engine

After thoroughly cleaning the gasket seating from both the cylinder head and the rocker cover side, position the central gasket with the circular elements, apply gasket sealant in the areas where the gasket may not adhere perfectly, and place the gasket. At this point, place the cover and secure the fastening nuts using a torque wrench in a criss-cross pattern to ensure the gasket adheres perfectly: take care not to let it protrude from the edges, compromising the seal.
