Valve Cover Gasket Replacement PN

[BIU]

08 here with minor oil leaks from the valve cover gasket area..

I figured it'd be good to have them replaced as they may have aged and had hardened

Cant find too much info. after searching..

Looking for some help here as to whether I am looking at the correct part number (11127841560)?

Would there also be any other accompying parts I should look out for? Bolts?

TIA

I had mine replaced not long ago. I'll look at the PN on the ticket.

As I understand this both valve cover gaskets are the only pieces I'll be needing for the job correct?

When you replace the gaskets be sure that each of the spark plug tubes sit properly between the head and valve cover when you reinstall the valve covers, otherwise they can leak oil into the spark plug chamber and cause misfires and damage the coils.

should the bolts be replaced as well?

How many hours labour does the dealer usually charge for this? my 09 is showing some leaking signs as well but oil level still healthy. Might be something I wanna do but not urgent if the labour charges are too high.

Thanks for your tip Will keep an eye out for that!


So the gaskets are the only PN I will need for the job, correct?

Can someone share the labor cost? Here in Taiwan I was told that it cost around 1,500 USD (w/o gaskets) and 4 days. Not sure if it really needs that much?

That's flat out rape, took me and a buddy 2 hours to knock this job out. No special tools required. If you can change your spark plugs on this car. I'm fairly confident you can DIY this no problem.

Shop time is 6 hours, which is ridiculous. It took my buddy and I about 3 hours to complete. I have a brand new driver side valve cover with gasket and spark plug tubes sitting in my garage. If anyone needs those parts for cheap PM me.

always replace the bolts when doing these.
