Thank you for the video. I replaced both gaskets and used black gasket sealant. However, i got white smoke coming still from both sides. Am I supposed not to see smoke right after replacing gaskets or should I drive like this a week then check it again? Also can PCV valve cause the gaskets get bad and leak oil?
You don't have to. They may look fine, but the centre gaskets around the spark plugs could be leaking. If those leak you can get a misfire if oil gets in where the spark plugs sit.
If it's the spark plug beside the top up cap, then you are spilling oil. I had the same issue with a 3.0L I bought that had a flashing check engine light. Someone spilled oil when topping up oil
cely lopez I'm getting a tune up on my A4 and head gasket too.My nephew is a mechanic.Also make sure that you plug in the diagnosic tool and check for bad spark plugs.
Hello, what is that plastic/metal flap that is present when adding the oil? Do you know if it is plastic or metal and what the function of it is? Please respond asap please

AWESOME!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Do I have to replace both sides if only one driver side valve cover is leaking?
You don't have to. They may look fine, but the centre gaskets around the spark plugs could be leaking. If those leak you can get a misfire if oil gets in where the spark plugs sit.
Can a bad valcover gasket cause eratic idle??
I have alot of oil goin to one of the spark plug. Does this mean i have to change head gasket?

Your very welcome.
Perfect
Does this same method works for a 2003 Audi A6 Quattro 3.0?
Also can I use Hi-Temp RTV Silicone Gasket Maker or you recommend Black?
Was removal of driver side headlamp essential? I couldn’t tell for sure.
Makes your life way easier for the 2 min it takes to remove it
Helps in getting to the lower torx bolts on the timing cover just like the passenger side

It’s called a baffle, keeps oil from spraying against the cap and
