1.3 MH and MK3 rocker cover

Featured Replies

Is an aluminum rocker cover from a MK3 direct bolt in for a 1.3 MH? I've found one (i think is off of a TDI, but I can't remember right now) and it has the three center bolts....

Will it fit?

Thanks!

ohh and mk4 polo fit too

^^ I'm gonna go with that being what he means,given the MK3 is the 6N.

In which case you need the later gasket and bolts too,just make sure you only tighten them up enough to press on the rubber adequately,fingertip tight.

You have no idea how easy they snap.

If the one in the pic above,straight swap,same seal and bolts.

In any case,make sure you only turn the bolts until they nip up,dont put any torque on them.

it should fit a 2g engine ect, but i thought an mh has an 8 bolt rocker cover?

it should fit a 2g engine but not an mh, mh has an 8 bolt rocker cover

No it doesn't, it has three bolts. Hydro head.

Visual differences over the 2G Include a pressed steel cambelt cover.

i swear mh is the old solid lifter head? or am i getting confused with something else?

Cool, thanks for the replies. I'm not positive it was a TDI... there are quite a few MK3's out at the breaker...

Good to know it fits!

So, I picked it up... only issue I've seen so far is that the new rocker cover doesn't have a port for the crankcase breather.....

Don't know what to do about that!

drill and tap one in
