Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So the dealer looked at it today here is the damage. Evacuation line broke in half $500 When that decided to brake it cavitated the oil which in turn has puhed out the following gaskets Valve cover bolt gaskets (will replace with the vario cam gasket) Spark plug tube gaskets (will replace when I do my 60K service) Oil pan gasket $300 and the Vario cam gasket $1200 This is what happened to the car thaks for everyones help. I figured I would update everyone who helped me out. I will upload some pictures when I get her back Friday. Thanks for all the help!!!

POST 2Original post

evacuation line? valve cover bolt gaskets vario cam gasket? ............ i hope you are mis naming parts becasue those parts dont exsist

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This is what the dealer told me. The evacuation line runs oil like a PCV valve on an old V8 Chevy. The valve covers have o rings around them for a seal. I have no idea what a vario cam gasket is. Dealer told me it keeps the main gear for the cams in line. Does the dealer not know what he is talking about?

POST 4Original post

Sounds like BS to me. I see no reason why a PVC valve that came off would cause pressure under the valve cover to blown the seals through. IMO that dealer is taking you for a ride on the western union express.

POST 5Original post

evacaution line = oil sperator very simialr to pcv valve and very possible to casue smoking on accleratrion. spark plug tuebs and o rigns are common leaks. Vario cam gasket or solenoid? are trhe solenoids leaking

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

He did not mention a solenoid. He said "Vario Cam Gasket" I will learn more Friday when I get the car and see the parts so I understand. Any idea how that oil seperator line can break in half?

POST 7Original post

YEAH THEY GET OLD AND BRITTLE AND CRACK IT CAN HAPPEN
