Part number for stem seals?
« on: June 03, 2010, 01:05:48 am »
I'm working on an AAZ/1Y head with 7mm valve stems. I bought a rebuild kit and it came with two different sets of stem seals. One set were too small to fit over the valve guides.

I fitted the other set, but tore the last seal when fitting it (they were a tight fit)

I've tried to order one stem seal from VW (026 109 675) but keep getting the seal that doesn't fit over the valve guide.

The valve guide is approx 11mm diameter.

Anyone know what I should order - I'm considering buying another head gasket set just for the seals...

In EKTA I can see a few stem seals, the 8mm which is the part # you listed and the other is 7mm.

027 109 675 is 7mm...

Unless ofc my EKTA skills need more work  ;D

Yep, it was the 7mm I needed.

Strange that the bigger valve stems have smaller guides.
