For the amount of hassle it would cause if you had to replace it, I would go for genuine Vaux parts, if you can get trade price the cost difference is pence!

Think you looking at ?15 for vuax, or ?6 for non-genuine


defo go for genuine, i fitted a crap gasket to my 1.6 16v, ran it in for 500miles, then another 300mileslater it was starting to go again.

fitted a vuax gasket, ran it in for 100miles, and iv now done 6k miles reving the fcuk out of it and no signs of it weakening :)

I had a "jap-crap" one fitted under warrenty

It's done 15k miles since but has serious issues, the engine doesn't like stopping.
