valve cover gasket

[James Russell]

I am a bit confused.  I went to the Audi dealership, they said a valve
cover gasket runs about $37.  I go on line and can find a valve cover set
with the semicircular plug for about $4-$6 online.  Granted they are made
by different companies, but I am I missing something???  These gaskets are
about 15% of the cost at the dealership.  Is there suppose to be a line of
bonding material on the gaskets or something.  If the $6 dollar one is
about the exact same as the dealership, then I am going to order one up
right away.

Thanks
