as you can see not everyone can buy from vx stealers some off us cant affored vx prices we keep our cars going on a shoe string well i have never had trouble with patten parts .each to what you can buy at the time

Very true Ralf, but if everyone deleted their account when they were advised of the pitfalls with using certain pattern parts the Oof membership would deplete quite rapidly.
If people do not wish to accept advice from members who have experienced problems with pattern parts, don`t post seemples

i agree rob but some patten parts are not bad 

We are talking cam cover gaskets here, not exhausts or cambelts.

If you are DIY'ing your gaskets, the amount of effort & time spent changing them (especially on a V6) its a job you only want to do once!

I gave clear advice, don't see why he got the hump  I get the feeling the OP had already purchased those gaskets!

Suggest he got the hump because of the manner of your reply.

You didn't in fact answer his question which was "will these ones be ok or they the wrong ones." - just said "Do not buy pattern". If you had looked at the link the seller posted, although the seller does't actually state they are genuine VX, he does strongly infer so and quotes Vx part numbers.  Surely it would have been more helpful to answer the guys question and advise these were not genune Vx but pattern and therefore not to use (as RobG tried to do).

Because his question went effectively unanswered the guy repeated his question which Albs answered, and you then responded as if the guy was a moron.  He was genuinely asking for help because he hadn't the experience of other members.  Not the way to treat a "Newbie" IMO, but definitely the way to lose members

How do you know I did not look at it? Do you have access to my logs? 1

I did click the link, I did not bother to read the auction, because at £16 they are not going to be genuine are they?
2
Also what did Rob say just after me?

Gaskets the same but those in your link are not the genuine ones that VX use.

His question was answered, I bet he had just already bought them and didn't like what we had to say.

1 - silly question - obviously not
2 - says it all - did not bother but assumed

At the end of the day you could have been politer in your response and given the guy the benefit of the doubt.

If he had asked the question a third time I would have agreed with your response

Can I have some popcorn Rob?

Welcome back mate! 

Generally people on here will give you the best advice on all things Omega... just don't ask which oil to use or what tyres to buy otherwise the forum will crash with the millions of replies!!!! 

[robson]

only use mobil

[feeutfo]

only use mobil

Why?

[derek89]

I can only speak as i find.I bought my cam gasket for a 2.0 from a motor factors which was not vx 4 years ago and have never had any problems with oil leaks since,so in my opinion it's six ofone and half a dozen of the other, you either strike lucky or don't

[feeutfo]

Wrong engine Derek.

4 pots tend to be less fussy, but it's still important
