Rocker cover bolts (and seal alternative)
Posted: Wed Jun 22, 2022 11:40 pm
Hi all.
Today is my 10 year anniversary of owning the RS6. Nearly 130k miles now and still loving every minute.
With this in mind I’m lining up cambelt change number 3 (under my ownership). Having taken the rocker covers off numerous times there’s a couple which could probably be replaced. I thought I’d look at also replacing the rubber seals on them.
Ofcourse there doesn’t seem to ANY alternative. They are only available to buy per bolt, and at a shocking £5+ each I don’t want to replace 40 of them!
Has anyone found a decent alternative. I’m tempted to buy one decent bolt and take it round as many seals/bearing shops to see if they offer anything. Part number is 077103831E
Cheers
Chris
