• i have a gti 8v valve cover to install but as i was looking for a pic and size of the bolts to it i read that the timing belt cover wont fit...
  
  is this true?what should i do to make it fit?
  
  my car is a daily so i dint have the possibility to have it stopped to check for that as for the bolts size so any help on this two would be great :arrow:
  
  thanks

• I cant see how you'd fit a 3 sprocket cover onto the 4 sprocket diesel
  
  You have a injection pump in the way....I could be wrong but I know mine doesnt fit!
  
  that's just my personal experiences
  Good luck

• Valve cover, not timing belt cover.

• Guess I read it as GTI valve cover with Diesel timing cover. Guess we need some clarification.

• yah I think it depends on how you read it, wheres the little comma ,?
  
  english can be tricky with all out direct word meanings and slang.

• I have a 1.6, don't know if the bolt config is different.  But, I put a G60 cover on and it fit with a little grinding to fit under the timing cover.

• The G60 cover fit my 1.6 with no mods at all. I did get the rubber gasket and stud conversion off eBay. The new AAZ, has no available cover so I powdercoated that.
