Hi I need to change the rocker cover gasket on my 2011 estate with a 1.6 MPI BSE engine.

 

I can't find anywhere the bolt pattern to torque the bolts back down.

 

Does anyone have the diagram, I've got the workshop manual but it's only showing the summary of parts but not install diagram.

 

Any help would be great.

 

Thanks 

Looking at the dealer workshop manual there is no specified pattern for the rocker cover bolts, only the torque of 9Nm so I would just use the normal diagonal clockwise like this

 

1-8-6-4

3-5-7-2  

That's great thanks a lot, massive help I was only getting the torque settings too

Wouldn't that be undoing sequence, tightening sequence would be middle-outward, kinda opposite that @nige8021?

 

I'd guess that it's really not critcial.

As it's such a low torque figure and there is no specified sequence I don't think it really matters the sequence, just to do diagonally so yes you could use

 

8-1-4-6

5-3-2-7  ???

 

Thanks for your help, luckily it wasn't a rocket cover gasket leak.

 

I've just bought an Octavia estate 2011 and when I looked at it there was all all down the engine coming from the top, but it was going a lot cheaper than others so I thought would be worth getting for the sake of a rocker gasket, but I cleaned all the oil off left the engine running and no signs of leaks, so I'm guessing it's been replaced but didn't clean the oil off.

 

I'll save that pattern, incase I need to replace it in the future
