euro valve cover instal

now what would i need to change in order to instal this

this is what they say "They work with the plug in style coils, or plug wires for those running standalone engine management. They will fit ALL 1.8t engine codes"

i don't know, i don't see the bung for the crank case breather or a spot for the ground. also, the oil fill is in a different spot.

1) Remove old valve cover

2) Install euro 1.8(minus the T) valve cover

It looks cool but I tought that the crank case breather was a neccessity

does it add power?

that's definitely looks like it's for a 16v 1.8L/2.0L.... i know it says for a 1.8t, but if it is for a 16v i don't think that will work for you. i was looking at one that's shaved and polished just like it which is on one of my friend's cars... definitely not the same as ours

so i dont know, does it fit or not?

it fits. it is off the euro NA 20v, code AGN. the breather is on the on the side of the oil fill (barely see it in the pic). also, the coil-on-plugs need to be modified, or the cover needs to be modified to fit US spec coils.

nice man thanks for that. but that seems like such a pain in the ass just for that.

if you REALLY want that kind of look you can take a grinder, file, and a LOT of sand paper to your stock valve cover and shave it down. it's a total bitch to do and do right - but it can be VERY VERY worth the outcome.

not having all those little casting pimples if you go to get it powdercoated will look SO much better than a stock one. ask me how i found that out [sad]
