I suspect that both will work fine. I expect the VW parts to be first quality, 
but the black rubber material resembles the valve cover gasket material that I 
think is even better than the tan cork. So I think the choice here is one of OE 
vs price, with both representing excellent quality. The cheap one should be the 
best buy.

Absolutely! They should outlast the car. You already have a set. Perhaps you 
could tell people how you felt about them.
