Rocker cover gasket & temp display

Hiya lads! (and the odd lass)

I need a few pointers please, so I'd be massively grateful if someone could help with the following;

First off - rocker cover gasket is weeping from one of the bolts (passenger side one - drivers side was changed before I bought it). I've tried nipping them up but it still leaks.
- Are the gaskets the same for each side?
- Is this the correct part number for the P/X one? (077 198 025 A)
- Aside from Audi where can I buy one?

Secondly my air con/outside temperature display has changed from Celsius to Fahrenheit?!?!?. How do I change it back? I've looked on the menus but can't find it. Is it part of the air con diagnostic stuff/Vag Com?

Cheers
Nobby

Use the climate control panel to change the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, and vise versa. If you first press and hold the recirculation button (circular arrow), then press the temperature + button, it will toggle between the two on the climate control as well as the instrument display.

Isn't it the passenger side gasket that's a barsteward to get at?

Is it possible to buy cork gasket material? Not for the RS, for my lawn mower. :)

Passenger side rocker cover gasket is easier to change, no coolant pipes in the way. If you want to do it, I can post you some pictures from ElsaWin. I am sure MRC can do both sides without taking the engine out, although the sevice manual says you have to take the engine out for the driver side (talking UK, right hand drive cars here...)

Definately doing it myself, probably do the other side later in the year and paint my rocker covers in the process.

Oddly my temp display went back to normal on my return journey from work. Electrical gremlins!
