Symptoms that require this repair:
Engine suddenly started consuming a lot of oil (6 dcl/1000 km). I had some substantial oil leaks, so I first had to replace:
- oil pan gasket,
- valve cover gasket,
- Valvetronic motor gasket
- Valvetronic sensor connector flange,
- vaccum pump o-rings,
- VANOS solenoid o-rings.
