  • mk1 manifold gasket?

    hellp

    just wanted to check

    Does a mk1 need a manifold to exhaust gasket or just bolt straight on??

    should use a generic 3 bolt flange gasket near the steering rack assuming you have the stock exhaust, i find using a sealant like Maniseal works awesome

                Not worth shopping overseas for such small order.

                I just used that pic to show what they look like.

                Typically GAP won't accept an order below USD100 for international shipping in any case.

                ANy of your friendly local VW parts places should have them.

                Tooleys would be able to post you a set.

                Worst case VW spare parts department will have them, they're the same as on the MK3.

                  awesome will try them.

                  on an other note i am about to re connect the uni joints, should i clean and regrease? (there is still quite a lot of grease in them) what sort of grease?

                  any help on this would be much appreciated as you may have already guessed I'm pretty rookie at all this
