Trying to get hold of a multi layer steel gasket but no one seems to have any in stock and cant get any in for a few days! Whats the benefits of running the multi layer steel gaskets over the fibre gaskets? Apart from the price?________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Chris, speak to Carl (mechanical repairs) if I'm struggling to get bits I normally give him a bell and he can normally sort me out.________________________________________ Team Running Engine again!Team Negative Camber! My Budget track engine build thread! Now appearing at a Trackday near you!!  |

Personally I don't think they're as hard wearing, and just by the nature of what they're made of I don't trust them but that's just me. If it was me use a proper one, do it right do it once so to speak, just my opinion though!  ________________________________________ Team Running Engine again!Team Negative Camber!

Known me it will probably be coming back out in the near future anyway  cant see them being that bad or they wouldnt sell them. ECP cant get me one till thursday and know them it will be wrong and paiges dont have any untill Wednesday. Local motor factors can get me a fibre one for 11am. ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Why buy a cheese fibre aftermarket gasket when genuine is Multi layer steel and is same price if not cheaper I've found. Which do you think is stronger.... Metal.... Or fibre....  ________________________________________ Black power baby!

nothing wrong with fibre, you wont find a metal gasket on the alloy xu engined for example.405 T16 used a fibre gasket. Fibre are never the same price as MLS, £15-20 for a decent one  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
