[QUOTE="David Y, post: 314056, member: 14912"] Thanks, Ramsing, for the link. Beisan offers the Seal Kit while Dr. Vanos offers the re-built vanos complete with new gasket and the vito O-ring(s) and teflon seal(s). At the higher end, Dr. Vanos also includes the thrust washers, spring plate and intake cam gear. Strangely, M-Sport only changed the thrust washers and spring plate on my ride; they said the seal was okay. Then again, they could not check the condition of the O-ring without damaging the teflon seal. I am wondering whether the problem with the O-ring is only peculiar to BMW in the US market where the chemical make-up in the engine oil may be different from the rest of the world. If I do need a re-built Vanos from BMW, then I will consider getting one from Dr. Vanos. [/QUOTE]
