Title: Where do these go?
Post by: bighed on 11 April 2008, 11:33:55
Been to vx today and bought all gaskets/seals and O rings to do cam cover gaskets. With 5l of oil and a filter it came to £149. There are 3 very little O rings. Part No.:90511451. Where do these go? There are also 2 other o rings on their own which are slightly bigger than these 3 but with no code on them. Where do these go also?  :-/ :-/

Firstly you need 5.75 litres for an oil change..

2 orings are probably off the breather to throttle body connection.

You should have 16(?) orings for the camcover bolt holes.

Not sure about the 3 off hand..  someone will know though.

Cos they think every one drives a 4 pot car. For the same reason, my local dealers don't stock anti-freeze in the 5 litre bottles.

damn!!  :o :o get a trade card / ABS card!

Should have cost no more than £70. Cam cover gaskets, plus black sealant should be around £60 ish? £20 for oil and filter....

4 pot's take 4.75L of oil V6 needs another 1L

Just a thought, but if the guy has given you the oil amount for a 4 pot then perhaps he has also given you the relevant gaskets for the wrong engine too??

I gave dave the parts man at vx all the parts numbers off the guide on how to change the cam covers so they are the right parts. Will take everything apart and see. Whatever i dont need can go back.
