Hello Ian! Thanks for all your valuable input....I have been catching up on various old threads.
What is your opinion at this point on the Vanos? Still going with the rebuild using Beisan Systems' parts? Or possibly just replacing the entire Vanos using Turner Motorsports' rebuilt unit? Quote:

Beisan parts are better and cheaper... seems like a no brainer.
Turner resets the clock on the issues. Beisan fixes them so you never have to worry about them again.

What's everyone stance on replacing hardware? Like bolts, nuts, washers. Do you just replace them if needed?
Also regarding the VANOS high pressure oil hose, should I just get the updated OE BMW part or go aftermarket with RE or BW? I can't get an exact answer, but I heard you have to replace the BW/RE high pressure line more frequent than OE. Is that true?

If the bolt or nut holds something critical on I generally buy new hardware when I'm replacing that component, especially if it has a specific torque spec. When I did my water pump I replaced every nut, bolt, washer and pulley I could just to not have to touch it again.

I don't replace hardware unless it needs it.
The updated BMW hose is the best one out there.

Hey guys,
I was wondering what you guys think I should do for service/maintenance. This is the history of my car (2006 ZCP): 06/2012 (45k mi) - Inspection II 01/2014 (53k mi) - Oil Service 02/2014 (53k mi) - Main Drive & A/C Drive Belts Replaced Lower Radiator Hose and Coolant Temp Sensor Replaced [New Coolant Fluid] New MPSS Mounted and Alignment 09/2014 (58k mi) - SMG Pump Replaced (Relays, Fuses and Fluids) 02/2015 (60k mi) - Oil Service Currently the car is at 66k miles. Should I do another Inspection (I?) based on the time or just an oil service? Thanks. |
