I wish I knew about the kit. I replaced my vanos when I did the chain guides. I would have saved $1100 for the two vanos.
Very comprehensive DIY you found.

to be honest,if I known about this 4 years ago,I could've saved at least $5000 on an engine swap.
Last night,when I found this link,I was extremely happy.
It really saves a lot of money.
Now I am diagnosing my engine,step by step.First I need to change the chain tensioner.If it's not helping,drop an oil pan and see if there's any plastic from broken rails.And if there any,I am gonna get this kit and VANOS + Timing components get replaced!

I had them replaced last year for both of my M54 engines. Beisan has a very thorough procedure.

Right. For M54 seems to be a maintenance procedure that has to be done at some point but for M62 it's the first time I see a seal kit for vanos. All I know people replaced them when they became noisy.

That's correct,it's a first time I see such a thing.
Their competition isn't offering those seals.
