MK3 golf GTI heads have all 5 cam caps even with hydraulic lifters, I guess same is also possible for SA engine codes. we dont have so much experience with those over here.
is your front coolant flange aluminium? if so and you can get more you might find a market selling them to europe… Briano would be especially interested I expect

Naw, I replaced all of my coolant flanges on my Digifart with Metal ones. I got rid of the plastic ones as soon as I realized that the 16V CTS sensor was the same as the Digi-blue one. So I swapped all of them…. Funny thing is that since I have done that I haven't had a broken or distorted or one that leaked…. .
The hardest one to find was the t-stat cover and that was bought for 25 bucks each and I ordered 3…
one on left from a 81 diesel in the yard.
Replaced this:
with
I used the 16V CTS sensor, and the Black Oil Temp sensor for my Coolant Gauge…Worked great…. best thing is no leaking at all….
And the Metal -t-stat cover I got a GAP…. So my flanges are all better now.
I only have 2 -plastic parts on my Car in the cooling system now… The Radiator Expansion jug, and the heater Matrix.

luckily I had a metal t-stat flange included on one of the scrap blocks that came with my cabrio, I made sure to keep that for my mk2. unfortunately for me no OEM flange exist for ABF engines so I have to make do with genuine VW ones. To be fair genuine ones last really well, touch wood its been almost 10 years now

Rub…..You never mention how well parts work for as how long they have been installed because they are sure to break on you now.
