VW MK4 GOLF engine squeak solved, gaskets replaced

Описание: My 1999 MK4 Golf had an annoying squeak that would happen on start up. The source was the rusted and splitting timing covers. I also replace the leaking valve cover gasket and upper intake manifold gasket. And, point out where I jack the front of the Golf up so that I can place 2 jack stands at once.

Links to what I used are below. I purchased mine at Advance. But, you may be able to fine them cheaper elsewhere.
