    If you're doing it yourself, Beisan will cost $120 and Dr V will be $250 me thinks.

    If you're paying to have it done, I would think the Dr V job would be faster and would offset the extra cost of the product.

    Doing it the Beisan way costs roughly $170.00...plus....you rob yourself of learning and nurturing your own car.

    Its all good though....glad you are getting it fixed....

    So.....after you pay...they send you a new unit...before you pull the old one? So down time is much less than what I expected.

    Did the Beisan price go up? Thought it was $60 for the o-rings and $60 for anti rattle.

    Or are you adding in vcg and vanos gasket?

    Gotcha, bro. Thought you were adding it in. Just wanted to make sure the price wasn't up at Beisan...

    Yes...I believe they do. Maybe not. Good point. If they don't...whats the point? I know BMW doesn't use new seals....

    This statement eludes to maybe they do...

    "Our vanos units are professionally rebuilt to a much higher standard than the factory refurbished units and will solve engine performance problems that are due to a malfunctioning or stuck vanos."

    But...I guess I never really worried weather or not they did.....cuz I always went with Beisan.

    I guess I just assumed they used the correct software...

    I'm going to install it myself. I don't consider installing new seals on a vanos vs replacing it more of a learning experience...

    Fully cleaned and rebuilt vanos unit with new seals and O-rings installed. In addition, we rebuild the internal bearings and reduce the tolerances to eliminate the 'marbles in a tin can' noises commonly found on the 'ZHP' package E46 models. The kit also includes a new vanos gasket and crush washers. Don't settle for half a rebuild, get the complete package with our dual vanos kit.
    Price: $400.00 (includes fully refundable $150 core charge)

    I guess we will have to agree to disagree on that one. Nothing makes your pooper pucker more than when you're trying to stretch the new software over the piston. You are robbing yourself of that intense pleasure.

    Maybe that's why I have 5 under my belt now...lol.
