I pay over $600 at the "Porsche" place to get them replaced...perfect. I take them to the VW guy to get them replaced, $20 labor and parts and nada....i know the guy is cheap, this is why "I"want to do them myself. Somebody PLEASE tell me how to clean the ports up (where the seals go) cause the VW guy says that's what is needed and he can't do them real well.

Britt you REALLY need to find a new mechanic. This guy has steered you wrong more times than i can remember lately. You JUST had your valves done and you think your valve cover gaskets haven't been replaced ? That is part of a valve job bro.As for the tube seals, you've had them "replaced" twice to the tune of $620.00 and they still leak....A=you're being hosed.....B=you've got 2 bad mechanics, one being a dealership guy.......C=Your engine is the biggest crack ridden pile ever to drive the face of the earth! I'm doubting C, as you have told us of other "misstatements" by your VW "mechanic" so I'm down to A and B.Ask us first and then TRUST us instead of questioning our info,no one here is going to steer you wrong (knowingly) then proceed with the repair. How much did you know about computers before you got into them??? Take the advise and take your time, be cautious and make sure you buy quality stands. Don't get all boned up about werking on your own car and fuch something up cause you are excited!!
