If you want to know who makes the Vx genuine gaskets, buy one and look at it.  :y

One I had a while ago had a manufacturers name molded into the rubber, near one/both of the half-moon bits IIRC. Was made by some German company beginning with G? or B? that I'd never heard of.  Looking at their website gave the impression that there was not the slightest chance that they'd deal direct with the public.

Is this the same guy you know who works for VX, who fitted new camcover gaskets to your V6, only for them to fail shortly afterwards, and who couldn't find the coolant leak from the split pipe on the bridge, and who crossed two plug leads, caused a misfire, and then said "it's donald ducked mate" and caused you to essentially scrap your old car?  ::) ;)

I have to go with the consensus. In my earlier days of V6 tinkering (I've done many many a top end rebuild on these) I trialled a few pattern gaskets. Only one actually lasted. So I have to concur that, whilst you may sometimes get lucky, genuine is really the only way to go.

Afterall, they're only £25 a bank :y

To add to this, didnt your problems start (rough running, sounding like a tractor) after having cam cover gaskets done?
