Another group buy: Beisan Vanos seals

[bmw7833]

sorry b4 I order, has anyone done it in Pg. Does Chu Seng do it?

Tq

U can ask from Bayernz. They have existing stock for the seal.

Just had a look around my engine just now, and I just realized the Vanos part was leaking engine oil. Not too bad, but certainly there's oil to be seen there.
Does this means I need to do the Beisan vanos seal replacement ASAP?

Here are some pictures:

What do you guys think? If so I might be on the group buy too (for real this time)

 

[bmw7833]

Valve cover gasket, bro.

 

[haywire]

Valve cover gasket, bro.

Okay thanks. Separate matters then. Any idea of costs?

 

[bmw7833]

If u replace the gasket, it is always better for u to replace the vanos seal as well.

Actually most of the workshop will replace the valve cover gasket when the car owner replace the vanos seal. The price RM350 is included both. If u come to Ipoh, lagi murah, RM250 can kaw tim. Gasket alone is cheap, only the labor.

 

[haywire]

Okay thanks. Lemme think about it. Any deadline for the group buy?

 

[bmw7833]

No deadline, no worry, waiting the namelist to grow up.

 

[deep3102]

Do it one shot haywire..valve cover gasket and seals both. Save time and hassel, plus save on labour costs.
