Title: TC Price for camcover gasket
Post by: Gaffers on 30 August 2010, 06:59:42
Been quoted about 70 quid for the pair on TC (including VAT) is that right or am I going to have to speak to the Parts Manager again?  ::)

£25 per bank sounds about right, it by the time you have all the o-rings and sealeants and VAT that it gets to £70

I don't think they are, IIRC they are Elrig who make parts for Vauxhall but not the camcover gaskets. There have been quite a few people fooled by the oe claim and then had to replace them with ones bought from Vauxhall :(

I have heard that they were different.  I tried some from there years ago and they lasted about 6 months.  Replaced with genuine and no problems thereafter.

I hope for your sake they have changed/been improved :y

Could by the job lot and sell the rest on here or ebay. Going by my drive I can see there is an oil leak issue.

Don't believe the BS that autovaux spout (often they use clever wording like 'Elring make gaskets for GM', or sometimes they just tell porkies).  Did they come in a GM packet, with the GM hologram on?  If not, they are a pattern part, and will likely fail within a few months.


For this reason, I never use Autovaux any more.
