that’s a funny looking volkswagen
Mk2 golf is easiest to do
hey charles...thanks, but a leaking valve cover gasket gives my car character and also, in a round about way, helps winterize the engine block and transmission and if I'm lucky, the underside of the car. Ppl pay big money to have the underside of the car to be sprayed with oil, and with my leaky gasket, it is more or less 'free'. Thanks for the tips. [sarcasm meter should be maxing out/pegging]
A bit of overkill with the torque wrench on a valve cover. JS
After working on VWs all these years this must feel like setting the difficulty to easy.
Easiest i've seen, did, was a 2000 eclipse gs I had a LONG time ago. Way easier than this one.
Ha, would most air-cooled VW engines qualify for having the easiest valve cover gasket replacement? Just pop off the bales with a screwdriver, pry off the valve covers with the same screwdriver, replace the gaskets, & put the valve covers back on, not even needing any tools to push the bales back in place? No breather hoses or wires to disconnect, either. Good video, always learn something new even though I've replaced many a valve cover on my air-cooled VW bus & my mk2 Jetta diesel.
I’m liking the unique camera angles! 👊
I am left speechless, clearer than water, very well explained, without film cuts or anything excellent, tomorrow I will change the valve cover to my mazda miata 2003, thank you very much, excellent video

I will be coming back to this video fairly soon as I've gotta do mine. Replaced my spark plugs and saw that all of them have oil in the wells, thankfully not a lot. Perfectly straight forward and easy to understand guide, thank you kindly.
This video should be the template that all car repair videos are created from. Very well done. Excellent lighting. Great camerawork.
Next time one of my friends ask my help with this job, I'm linking this video! Thanks, Charles! Saving me time and frustration!
Hey brother I'm a fan of the podcast and you have been helped by you in the past for thank always thank you. I had a 2001 vw jetta 2.0 with your videos I learned so much about it and without you I would have struggled. Sole provider for my 2 kids honestly what you do makes a difference man thank you. I'm 25 now but I started watching ya when I was younger. Thanks Charles. Hope you have an amazing day!!
I’m in middle of doing a valve cover reseal on a new Porsche Cayenne, and the camshafts are FULLY HOUSED in the valve cover. Love it.
Great video, as usual. Really enjoy your knowledge and mannerisms.
