Pretty sure you're talking about an m50b25 unless its an american import... Really quite simple just time consuming and potentially expensive if you dont know what you're doing (ie f**k the cam timing and smash all your intake valves). I've replaced the entire vanos unit on some fellas m50b20, was 600 all up including parts. If i were you i'd import the correct seals for your m50/s50, give them and your car to us and have your vanos unit re-ringed while the leak is fixed. Come visit Wittz Auto, 78 Rawhiti Road, One Tree Hill, if you want to know more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
