#1: rocker cover gaskets off 180 same as GTi 138? Author: iainlovatt, Posted: Wed Feb 06, 2013 8:20 am ---- Right so i have bought the GTi 180 engine cover, however it simple doesnt fit and im not willing to drill into it. So last night i bought a rocker cover off a 180. My question is will this fit 100% and cause no issue with my engine. From what i have read they are a straight swap however im not confident,

You'd be amazed at all the problems a cloth in the hole can sort.

Camshaft sensor on a 180 sits in the side of the head so goes nowhere near the rocker cover.

#10: Re: rocker cover gaskets off 180 same as GTi 138? Author: Lex206, Location: HollandPosted: Wed Feb 06, 2013 12:57 pm ---- think there are 2 different types of rockercovers.
your planning to put the 180 engine cover on your gti i presume?
im planning to do the same just quite havent got there yet.
someone told me on here a long time ago that you need the rockercovers from an early 180 car?
you obviously need a rockercover that fits your gaskets.
say again..i THINK there are 2 different types of gaskets
#11: Re: rocker cover gaskets off 180 same as GTi 138? Author: iainlovatt, Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2013 3:42 pm ---- My gti rocker covers were the same as the 180 rocker covers! After moving few cables I Managed to get 3 secure plastic bolts to hold cover down. Job complete.
#12: Re: rocker cover gaskets off 180 same as GTi 138? Author: Lex206, Location: HollandPosted: Tue Feb 12, 2013 8:42 am ---- i had a go at it today,turns out i THINK my 180 cover will fit my gti as well.
but i only had one plug that came with it,so have to go to the dealer to get more of them.
but now is the question..get it colour coded or carbon dipped..
#13: Re: rocker cover gaskets off 180 same as GTi 138? Author: iainlovatt, Posted: Wed Feb 13, 2013 2:11 am ---- U may have to alter a few. Things around engine block ie move couple of wires a couple of mm but it will fit,
