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. > > Set of 15 (2 spares!)
