[QUOTE="Lee36328, post: 692994, member: 113"] Thanks for all the nice feedback guys. Just took the car out to the nearby highway for a run, and I can definitely confirm the Beisan Vanos Seals Repair kit works for my car. Took the car to a decent clip where normally, both the car and the wife would be equally loud. The engine would be shrieking to produce the horsepower and the exhaust bellowing to expel the output, while the wife would be shrieking for me to slow down. But this time around, after installing the repair kit, the engine hardly murmured, the exhaust hummed a low bass note smoothly, and the missus was hardly disturbed. The acceleration was liquid-smooth, the gear changes hardly felt, and the cabin remained at a cocoon of calm and comfort. It's like discovering another pair of previously dormant cylinders in the engine. I dare say, I do not remember the car feeling this torquey ever. Another sign of improvement, when idling, the exhaust used to smell of petrol. ie. containing unburnt fuel. Now the smell is gone. Also noted the fuel consumption meter now stays at below 10 l/100km much of the time, yet with more torque produced. So overall, I expect fuel consumption to improve. The testing and discovery continues... [/QUOTE]
