silicone gaskets

OK so the oil change gaskets have started to leak a bit ????
anyone had any dealings with the silicone ones ????
where can i get them ????
are they better than the cardboard ones ?????
how much ??????

flatten the sump plate panel beat it around the stud holes

yeah tried that.... was fine for a couple of months and now a very small drip

thought silicone gaskets would be a set and forget option
can boris get them ?????

no check the plate again and make sure the area around the holes is flat

go to super cheap and get a tube of sticoflex great for all oil leaks but clean and pre sol surfaces before applying

are you using the copper washer and acorn nuts

yeah using acorn nuts and new copper washers........
sound like a project for next weekend....thanks

You can get a very high quality Billet aluminium plate and continue to use the paper gaskets with no adhesive. works for me. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SCAT-BILLET-OIL-SUMP-PLATE-KIT-VW-BUGGY-OFFROAD-BUG-BUS-GHIA-50127-6-/151474023134?hash=item23448e2ade:g:dZcAAOxyDoZSLk86#ht_99wt_1362

Just remember the correct torque for the 6mm studs at 7NM
