You could then try a hydraulic engineer who should be able to get you one or perhaps make one. Hope this helps.

I hear the rubber seal for the filter housing cover are obsolete from VW. Does anyone know if GSF stock them???
Are you asking about the front cover plate on the filter housing for the GTi with an oil cooler?

I reomoved the seal, which is now completly flat and hard, not surprising its leaking. I measure it with a piece of string to get the circumference and the diameter worked out as 51mm.
I had a seal sent to me which was too big at 55mm the only one I found localy was 49mm x 4mm. It was a bit thick and small but streched to fit. Bolted the cover back on…no leak, sorted.
After a drive the seal seems to have melted a little. Probably couldn't handle the heat from the oil. It will probably degrede and start leaking agian sooner or later.
So I need another one the right size that can handle the heat. Whate a mare..
