I did try that mate but the old seal is really pitted and my sealent has gone off in the tube
Should not be a problem if it is pitted as long as you got a decent sealant and clean it up well.

I can recommend Elring Dirko, it is specially designed for aluminium parts and it has worked very well for me in the past. I believe VAG dealers use the same stuff. It is not the cheapest but well worth it.
