Title: coil pack and gaskets
Post by: Gubz on 01 September 2009, 13:22:40

Just wondering is the gm coil pack an rocker gaskets much better then the pattern parts cause i've been told by my local vauxhall dealership coil pack will be around £130 and rocker gasket would be around £50, bit much i thought :(

coil pack - just get a bosch one off ebay

the gaskets though, you are best with original, most pattern leak again within a few months, bad fit and hard rubber  :'(

£50 for a rocker gasket,i would expect it to be gold plated for that,i paid £18 not long back for one bank from vx.

yea sorry should have stated that earlier its for both banks seen them for £20 an less on ebay but i don't want to be replacing them every week ;D

any one have any trouble with pattern ones has they are a lot cheaper then my local vx dealer, can't really figure out why when i hear that coil packs give alot of bother anyway
