It is a new replacement cover for small-capacity Volkswagen, Seat and Skoda petrol engines, used where the existing cover is cracked, warped or leaking oil. The part listing also refers to an oil sump, but the attributes describe a valve cover.

Vehicle compatibility

The listing attributes name the Seat Leon 1P 2005–2012 with the 1.4 16V engine, and list compatible vehicles as the VW Polo and Golf and Skoda Fabia, Rapid and Roomster. The fitment table holds 102 rows, with examples such as the VW Polo III Classic 1.6 2002–2006, Seat Ibiza IV 1.6 LPG 2011–2015 and Seat Ibiza IV 1.4 TSI 2013–2015. Some rows list diesel TDI engines, which use a different cylinder head, and these should be disregarded.

Technical specifications

Installation requirements

Allow the engine to cool, then remove ignition coils, breather hoses and any covers before unbolting the old valve cover. Clean the cylinder head mating surface thoroughly, fit a new gasket and tighten the bolts in sequence to the specified torque to avoid distortion. Check for oil leaks after the engine reaches operating temperature. Professional installation is recommended if you are unsure of the procedure.

Fitment checks before ordering

VAG small petrol engines share similar-looking covers with different breather and sensor positions. Match the OE number cast into your existing cover and confirm by engine code or VIN before ordering. Contact us with your engine code for help confirming fitment.

Replacing a leaking cover promptly can prevent oil from reaching hot exhaust parts and ignition components.

Package inclusions
