Goes back anyway you like, make sure you remove the old one and lightly oil both sides of the new one before replacing, I think I paid about £3.50 for a new one, partsmonster or one of those volvo specialists, do a search.

What I meant was a this part: didn't know exactly which way to put it. (Not exactly like the picture but similar, it's a cone shaped gasket. |

If the gasket you have is cone shaped it is not correct. The gasket on mine is just a flat rubber washer, so impossible to fit the wrong way round.

On a GDi the cone shaped bit fits it nice to the engine cover, but you should still have a flat fiber washer between the engine and the cap.

Aah, didn't realise we were talking about a GDi. No experience of those so, yes, it could well be different to the Volvo engines.

They're 0.3£ so I'll buy one of those, it's good to replace right? Also the cone shaped part, do I put it before the black gdi plastic cover or after? |
