Hi Herbert

Checked my ride info thru link given but there is no information can be found on Vanos. But one thing make me puzzle my engine is stated as M52 only without TU.

Your avatar picture is your real engine? If so, then it is either m52TU or m54, no way for m52.

Thanks Alex for your links which answered my query and next thing I have to do is to replace the vanos seal as recommended by forumer in order to improve the performance. Any idea where I get the seal?

Sorry bro about where to get the Vanos Seal i have no idea, fyi i am getting it from the previous GB who organize by our CM Mr Herbert. Maybe you can try WP Auto Albert there which i did read some where through forum here or you can asking the recent GB OM who organize the Vanos Seal to get it.
