Just completed a big round of maintenance this month. Had to replaced the valve cover gasket and oil filter housing gasket, as both were leaking. And while I was in digging in the engine, I took the time for a whole bundle of preventative maintenance I had been putting off: oil change, replaced CCV separator and hoses, replaced Vanos piston seals, new DISA gasket, new expansion tank and radiator hoses with coolant flush, replaced tranny and differential fluids, and replaced all the vacuum caps and o-rings that were accessible.
Feels good to finally bring all my maintenance up to date.

Nicely done. Does the car feel like it runs any better with the VANOS and DISA done?Originally Posted by BoyScout
You listed a lot of maintenance I plan to do despite the low miles in my car.

I was having an intermittent RPM bounce at idle, and after completing all the work it seems to have resolved that. Not sure if the problem was the Vanos or the vacuum system, but it is idling perfect now. Otherwise with the Vanos it hard to say at this point if benefitted engine performance - I have only put on about 60 miles since I completed the work, and they say it needs around 200 miles to break in the seals.
Even though my car is an '04 it only has 97,000 miles on it.
