I'm going to try and adjust my valves here shortly and I assume I'm going to need to replace the gaskets sence I don't know how long it's been sence the PO adjusted the valves . But can I get a set at the local VW shop for a 1.7 or do I have to order from somewhere and if so where? cuz I have no clue where to start
Thanks, jbart |
