Valve Cover Gasket - Silicone or Flexible Mould

Followers

26 November, 20223 yr

I found oil leaking into my spark plugs which are a fair indication that the valve cover gasket and O-rings around the sparkies have had it. But having not done it on the Skoda before, I'm wondering if it is an actual flexible gasket I need or use the silicon tube?

The local auto parts shop says that the silicone tube is the only option that comes up. Other part sites online show the same. I can't find any help online with this engine type, they all discuss using the flexible gasket type.

Anyone done this?

Anyone with more than one car ?

Well strange predicament due to dads age and alzheimers diagnosis he shifted his car to me. Pretty damn nice car 1.8T DSG 2014 less than 20k, packed with as much as mine has and more besides like adaptive cruise, folding mirrors. Not sure I need 2 though longer term tho....useful for now though as my petrol vRS similar vintage really could do with a clutch <80k miles so I am grateful for it regardless ! Not exactly the slow option either, obviously not quite as good as a 2.0T but better eco

Seat ventilation?

Seat ventilation?

Zapan · yesterday at 08:551 day

Good morning everyone, I need your help resolving an issue I can't seem to resolve, even with the help of Skoda customer service. I purchased a Superb Style, registered in Italy in 11/2024 (steering wheel with Skoda logo, not lettering), with the Lounge Design setup (the seats are electric except for the forward movement which is manual and does not have position memories). According to the specifications, the seat ventilation should be included, but there's no way to activate it, not even throu

When I got the car back in November I was trading in a 21 Plate Fabia wanting an upgrade in terms of spec and size. I had previously had a 150PS TDI Superb 3 so knew thats what I wanted again. It had 123,000 miles and a few age related tatty marks and body marks. Most of the interior lights had been changed to White LED, AdBlue had been coded out and it had some hideous quilted floor mats. The wheels had been refurbed in dark metallic grey and the calipers painted red. The reversing sensors were

Oil cooler

Levente03 · Tuesday at 06:015 days

Hi everyone! I’ve been thinking about taking my TDI RS Octavia to a track day, but I know that the stock oil cooling is a critical weak point. My question is whether there is an OEM+ solution out there, like using a Crafter oil cooler, or if I should go with an external oil cooler instead. On top of that, how plug-and-play is an external oil cooler setup?
