I bought the polished stainless scat valve covers from my local vw guy
today, $29.00 and they included new clips and gaskets, I couldn't get my
right side to stop leaking, and I got lots of advice from the list, maybe
warped cover, maybe pinholes in the cover. When I put the new gear on it was
quite apparent that my old clips were not nearly as strong as the new ones.
My old ones could be clipped into position by hand, and a slight
encouragement from a screwdriver, got them off. Well the new ones, required
quite a bit of encouragement from a screwdriver to get them to clip into
position, they hold CONSIDERABLY tighter than the old ones. As a matter of
fact with the old ones on, you could grab the cover with your hand and
wiggle it around; I guess they were way too loose.

Thanks for the help
