If you're not sure if your Vanos seals are bad then the only question you need to answer is if you've replaced them. Every unit from the factory came with the same failure prone o-rings and seals, even the re-manufactured units you can still get today. The only real fix is by replacing the seals and o-rings with material that is built to last in the oiled, extreme temperature environment found in these kits. 

A premium product replacement with easy to follow instructions makes rebuilding your Vanos unit a must. Even thought the power loss is barely felt it's the opposite result once you replace the seals, every car that gets rebuilt ends up wowing the customer and all of them saying they didn't realize what they lost. 

There are a number of symptoms that will plague your car as a result of these failing seals such as erratic idle, engine hesitation, stalling, and increased fuel consumption to name a few. If you've been chasing down any of these symptoms with no fix then this could be your issue.

Contains all required components for replacement of timing chain guide rails using quality OE parts Timing chain guides are a weak spot in the otherwise bulletproof M62. Common symptoms of worn guides can include excessive vibration or “slap” from the timing chain, and abrasive plastic particles in the oil. Symptoms typically begin to surface between 80,000 and 100,000 miles. If left untouched, worn guides let the timing chain jump out of time, leaving you with a potentially damaged head and larger repair costs. Our chain kit has been assembled for your peace of mind using quality OE parts. From new timing chain guides to a replacement oil pan drain plug, this kit has you covered to assure that all the needed parts are on hand and ready to install.
