Product Information
Seals the camshaft to the cylinder head, 2 per camshaft, 8 per car
Seals the front of the camshaft to the camshaft bearing ledges which helps build oil pressure for the VANOS system, a common failure item on higher mileage vehicles causing VANOS related fault symptoms. It is critical to check the bearing ledges on the cylinder head for deep grooves or pitting.
A camshaft seal is a rubber or silicone ring located on the top of the cylinder head near the back of the engine, designed to prevent engine oil from leaking out; a failing camshaft seal will most noticeably manifest as visible oil leaks around the back of the engine, sometimes accompanied by smoke from the engine bay when the leaking oil comes into contact with hot exhaust components
Engine Camshaft Seal Failure Symptoms- Visible oil leaks: The most obvious sign, usually seen on the back of the engine near the valve cover.
- Smoke from the engine bay: Oil leaking onto hot exhaust manifolds can burn off, producing smoke.
- Oil residue on the engine: Even small leaks can leave noticeable oil stains on the engine.
About Genuine BMW
The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.
You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.
Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
