    2001.5 B5 S4 Valve Cover Gasket Kit

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys do you know how I can get a cheap Valve Cover Gasket Kit Similar to the one from ECS Tuning?

    ECS Kit includes:
    •Valve Cover Gasket Sets - Left & Right
    •Camshaft End Cap Seals - Two
    •Camshaft Seals - Four (Two Front and Two Rear)
    •Camshaft Chain Tensioner Gaskets - Two
    •80ml Tube of VW/Audi Specification Sealant

    Here's the link also
    https://www.ecstuning.com/b-assemble...kit/078996025/

    But they are asking 95 USD + shipping for me since I live in Canada.

    Does anyone have any contacts where I can get the same kit for less?

    Thank you

    Make sure the camshaft seals you get have the rubber edge that goes around the shaft itself. I've gotten some that were paper-ish type and they all leaked within a few miles.

    Hey thx for feedback. Is there a kit you recommend that has the rubber edge? Should I stick with the ECS kit then? I don't mind paying the extra if it's critical for a good seal.

    Any of the kits I linked will have the correct cam seals.

    Brand is the most important, i just replaced my 2 year old VCG again because they were leaking. Using febi, will see how they do.
    old ones were a brand that was a 3 letter acronym like GMB or something, totally useless.

    Elring or however its spelt would be a solid choice, they just werent available locally and was told febi should be fine but i'll see for myself...
    the B5 S4 is like the mafia... there is only one way out!
