bruno_TSI Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 (edited) hey guys.. its been a while for me.. had a TSI back in 98-2002.. ended up selling the car and regret it big time..recently bought a decent 89 TSI and will be getting it back to road worthiness... car wasn't running... figured out this weekend that the fuel pump was not working.. I plan on upgrading to the Bosch 044... MY QUESTION is this.. since I have the tank down I thought it'd be a good idea to tackle the differential cover leak..and change the gear oil too... not sure if I can get a gasket for that cover? should I make my own? or just use silicone?.. any advice is greatly appreciated!!..

Mr_pat Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 Welcome back .. just returned to the forums and groups myself . kind of went radio silent mid 2000's. As far as the diff I would think a standard good cleaning and some silicone should handle it but i'll b watching or those whom have actually tackled it to pipe in. Check with MKS, Dads, Motocam 360 and or other vendors down in the list maybe one of them has a gasket . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno_TSI Posted March 7 Author Report Share Posted March 7 (edited) thanks for the tips.. I got some Fel-pro gasket paper today..$10.. I might try to see if I can make something and use the permatex green in junction.. Edited March 7 by bruno_TSI mispelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tux Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 I used gear oil safe sealant for mine. Car sat for over a decade unused and when i finally got it moving it still held. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno_TSI Posted March 7 Author Report Share Posted March 7 (edited) thanks for that link to the gaskets.. definitely will come in handy on this build.. car also sat for a while.. 89k miles... I checked his site for the gasket and didn't find it.. I sent them an email..... should I just use the permatex green and no gasket? thanks in advance Edited March 7 by bruno_TSI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
