I wish Elring would make these in different colors. It would have been cool to install a red or blue plastic valve cover.

Hallo
Welche Schrauben benutzt man bei dem Sensor-Nockewellenposition? Beim Originalen ist ein Metall Gewinde aber bei eurem ist das komplett aus Kunstoff.
Welche zwei Schrauben kann man dafür jetzt verwenden um die Dichtung für den Sensor fest zu machen?

Hi team,

I ordered and received this valve cover. I noticed that the area above the logo and part number has been ‘scratched’, like something was deleted. The very same is also visible at the valve cover in this video at 3:31 min.

It looks like that a brand name or so has been removed beneath the scratched surface. When you hover your fingers over this area it also feels thinner. Are you buying these valve covers from another brand and remove the brand name from the cover and put your owns?

In short: are these covers produced by Elring or externally acquired?

Also, the small thing on the pcv valve came loose in the bag and I had to click it in, but it does not sit tight.

Thanks, Ari

Wozu ist das kleine Plastikteil innen zwischen der 3. und 4. Zündung? Dieses kleine Teil kann man auch abnehmen, war bei mir nicht dran, evtl abgefallen? Habe aber nichts im Motor gefunden? Scheint wie eine Art Abscheider zu sein, muss das Teil bei manchen ab? Z.B. beim 535i ez2010?
