Head gaskit, need a part no please
my cars is 1979 its got a eg engine code, I went to the vw main dealer and they gave me a part no 02619802A but they had no idea what I was going on about and I thought i'd check see if anyone here knows any better.
Anyone had this before?

If so this is a rocker cover gasket, not a head gasket - cylinder head gasket for yours is 049 103 383 K.
I've used a GSF rocker cover gasket on my 81 1.6 EG engine no problems. Why would it not fit yours? Checked the VW parts list and for a 79 1.6 GTI it states the original rocker cover gasket is discontinued and to use 026 198 025A - which is a 81 1.6 GTI rocker gasket.

The GSF number listed is 11481, is that what you have on the receipt?
8O hope that's the right one… just brought that to fit over the weekend (hopefully)

think I might hold off with the head gasket change until someone confirms 11481 fits the 1.6.. can't be without the Mk1 for longer than 1 day
anyone??

ok first off sorry to worrie you phill but your fine because your car is a 82.
gsf sold me the wrong kit in the first place, there is a different kit for 82 on and I had asked for 79!
when I returned it as the wrong part they only looked at head gaskits and they dont sell any others, they only sell the head gaskit kits for 79s and they have to order them in.
The other problem was it has the same gsf no 11481 but the part no is 049-198-012h
Thanks for your advice everyone and sorry again phill and if anyone else needs advice on vw head gaskits come to me i'm a bloody expert now!
