As the title says; To suit a 1600.

I've searched here, Google, eBay and the ad banners around this site.

For such a common part it is unbelievable!

Sorry if it's a simple answer i'm just lost.

Iv'd had this hassle, bought a sheet of gasket card from Auto one, hole punch and make my own

Thanks guys. I thought they would have been every where since we all need them. Thanks 1916. I'll keep that one in mind when I rebuild.
Making them seems easy enough but its probably not worth the hassle.

What does the gasket card cost?

Ian, that site is great. one of the better ones around. I'll probably get it from there.

I didn't use a gasket, just used gasket cement, no leaks now (not from there at least..

If you're in Adelaide there are plenty of places which stock sump gasket kits. German Auto, that VSY/HSI place or whatever it's called, GHR Motors and Volksfactory, to name just the ones which I know personally. I'm sure other places could help you as well, like Cartek, Volkscare and others. We should all support those local VW shops which are still remaining, otherwise in a few years there will be none left at all! German Auto no longer tend to stock much for air-cooled cars but they did still have the sump gasket sets last time I was there.

there must be 10 or more places in Adelaide that will sell you the gaskets

Thanks for all the help. I didn't rind round Adelaide very much. I just assumed there would heaps of places selling them online.

Where do you guys get you old VW serviced in Radelaide. I heard GHR are alright. I called 2-3 places last friday and no one was interested. They said they only do newer models.

I have only ever done my own mechanical work at home, but by reputation and knowing people who work there, I would trust GHR, Volksfactory and Cartek. Fred Vella Tyres is the only place in Adelaide which I would take my VW to get a wheel alignment, John knows his stuff there.
