[QUOTE="Realred78, post: 444831, member: 18812"] FYI, I changed my vanos seals yesterday. First experience, was that my car felt very heavy or sluggish. I got home and called Bernard and Herbert. Both sifus said that very likely, the vanos timing or alignment had run. I checked with the mechanic who said that he had locked the timing and aligned it with the correct tools. What I did was after a few hours, I took my car out and as I live in Bangsar, decided to push my car up Jalan Ara. It is a steep hill and so I floored her. First run, she would not drag and the gears would change up very quickly. But this gradually changed after a few runs. I decided to give her a rest. This morning, when I was driving to Sg. Long for a round of golf, I gave her a good run on the highway. The car was much better, but I did notice that I had to depress the accelerator more that usual to get up to 180km/h compared to before. So I gave Bernard a call before my tee off and he said that the vanos may be slightly misaligned. After the round of golf and a heavy downpour, I left Sg Long at 4pm. This time the car felt lighter than what it was in the morning but not quite to her best. My opinion is that it may take some time. One thing I must point out is that compared to most of the guys who have replaced their seals, my original seals were in excellent nick. My car has only done 84,000 km. Plus from day one the previous owner changed the engine oil on a regular basis between 8000-10000 km. I have been doing the same as well. This could be why I did not get the great difference in feel compared to others who have replaced their seals. Guys, Bernard is a very approachable and really nice guy. Give him a call and he will answer any of your queries. He is someone who really has a passion for what he does. Which is why he is willing to work till the wee hours of the morning. He enjoys what he does. Get all your doubts and questions out of the way. Cheers. I will be there see you guys there. [/QUOTE]
