Durable Cork-Rubber Material and Precise Thickness

This Mahle engine valve cover gasket set (part number VS30004) features cork-rubber construction, a material known for its flexibility and resistance to oil and heat. The gasket thicknesses of 0.16 mm and 4.06 mm provide a precise seal that conforms to the valve cover surface, reducing the risk of leaks. Designed to meet OEM standards, this gasket set maintains the integrity of your Volkswagen Vanagon's engine sealing system.

Compatible Applications and Use Cases

The VS30004 gasket set is compatible with Volkswagen Vanagon models requiring a cork-rubber valve cover gasket. It is intended to replace worn or damaged gaskets that can cause:

  • Oil leaks around the valve cover
  • Engine performance issues due to improper sealing
  • Contamination of engine components from external debris
  • Increased oil consumption
  • Potential engine damage from oil loss

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Mahle VS30004 valve cover gasket set, ensure the valve cover and sealing surfaces are clean and free of old gasket material or debris. Proper torque specifications should be followed to avoid over-tightening, which can damage the gasket. Note that this set does not include PCV valve grommets, camshaft plugs, spark plug tube seals, or valve cover grommets, so these components should be inspected and replaced separately if necessary.
