Technical Plastic cam cover O rings

[puntodeltathema]

Hi folks. Possibly a bit specialist this one but does anyone know if the four O-rings traditionally used to seal the oilways from the head to the cam cover (for VVT and oil splash for the cams) on 1.2s were changed round about 2018? Removed the (plastic) cam cover from a 2018 1.2 today - the newest car I have worked on and supposedly the first time the cover had been off - to find no O-rings but what looked like flatter plastic "washers"....but not fully convinced they weren't just the plastic grooves for the O-rings and the latter were missing. Just asking in case anyone with a newer car has also found this...

Thanks

Nick

Ignore the above...on a further poke around the O-rings were there, just squished and difficult to see against the black plastic. I'll get me coat.... d'oh.

In passing, always replace these if you disturb them as you can get P0009 and P0011 errors for the VVT (as I have just done) if you don't...
