It shows up as a gasket on Worldpac's site, but they don't yet stock 
it.  Be interesting to see if they're actually going to have it in that 
configuration.  Be a big seller if they do.  My '02' and '03 Jetta TDis 
require the whole cover, but both are still fine at 190 and 210K.  I 
know a guy that reproduces rubber parts for Porsches, but the volume may 
be too low and the cost too high to justify the effort for this one.
