It's not like the early golf engines, they did have a rocker cover. The GTi has a cam cover, the camshaft "bearings" are part of the cover itself.

I used a different anaerobic sealant that I had on the shelf, used on a different car where 518 is recommended. You don't need much.

You can remove the rocker cam cover without touching the cam belt. There is no gasket. Don't be tempted to use RTV, if it is clean and dry an anaerobic sealant like Loctite 518 will be perfect Release the bolts gradually, the springs will be putting pressure on the cam / cam cover.

Glad it worked out. Immo problems are not usually that simple, and thanks for posting back with the ultimate outcome

Welcome !

The key has a chip in the head part of it which is read by the coil reader, linked to the immobiliser.

Just swap the head of the key over - take a look here, long story for simple problem viewtopic.php?f=7&t=71988

Just wondering how you got on with the second window regulator. Have you fixed it, or decided there is nothing to fix ?

Welcome !
