Question Valve Cover Gasket Kit Opinion

I just found this kit. It includes the VCG, Plug Seals, Cam Seals and a lot of info. Anybody ever used them? They seem knowledgeable about Audis.

As long as it doesn't come to the required quantity of liquids needed in your car, they indeed "seem" knowledgeable.

I went to Advanced Auto... they have a Import supplier that has everything you need. I picked up all the seals/gaskets (Victor-Reinz) and a serp belt (Conti)/tensioner through them. The belt was $18 and the tensioner $52. Cant remember what the others cost, but they were very competitive prices with only 2 day wait. Why pay shipping?

I used blauparts kit worked nice, I have taken covers back off since and they still re-seal nice. They will not give you enough on any fluid change they skimp on the fluid for some reason so always order extra fluid with a kit the includes fluid, That's what Chefro is talking about.

Indeed check out Advance. I have one close by so 2 days is good news.
