1Z & AAZ same valve cover gasket?

[wolf_walker]

I apparently ordered one for an AHU and they are obviously not the same.
Near as I can tell the AAZ is the same as the 1Z, like this one..

I'm trying to combine some stuff on an amazon order and get it all together if I can.

help?

AHU and 1Z are the same AFAIK. Are you sure you didn't order one for the ALH?

Damned if I know, I think IMC's catalog screwed me up, or it was really late.  It has the flat side and the other long side of the gasket is wavy, not straight.  It's a TDI something I'm sure.

The one you linked is for a standard 8v IDI.  My 1z is as you described.  The valve cover is held on by 3 nuts.

ALSO, the 1Z and AHU valve cover is not straight at the front.

This is a the AHU gasket;



AAZ gasket;



Normal 1.6 IDI gasket;

VW in their infinate wisdom doesn't sell a valve cover only gasket for the ALH. You have to spend over 120.00 for the new valve cover with a gasket. I hope he didn't do that.

No, got just a gasket with some gromets (which do look like my AAZ's).  Looks like an AHU gasket.

I'm pretty sure this one I linked is an AAZ part.

Even though it lists 1Z and AHU.

Also this one..

I see that the original one is sort of made into the valve cover, the replacement seems to be thicker to fill the channel in the valve cover, I assume you dig and scrape the original one out and replace it with this one.

Right, I forgot about that
