11367506178 11367546379 Engine VVT Valve O-ring For BMW N20 N26 N46 B48 N55 B58
1. Product Overview
VVT Valve O-ring for BMW Engines
These high-performance O-rings are designed for BMW's Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system, ensuring precise sealing between the VVT valve and engine components. Made from durable, heat-resistant rubber, they prevent oil leaks and maintain optimal hydraulic pressure for smooth VVT operation.
Key Features:
-
Material: Fluorosilicone or HNBR (Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) for superior heat/oil resistance.
-
Temperature Range: -40°C to +200°C (-40°F to +392°F).
-
Pressure Resistance: Withstands up to 10 MPa (1,450 psi).
-
Precision Fit: Exact OEM specifications for seamless integration.
-
Longevity: Resists aging, cracking, and chemical degradation from engine oils.

3. Function & Working Principle
-
Purpose: Seals the VVT valve assembly to prevent oil leaks, ensuring stable hydraulic pressure for camshaft timing adjustments.
-
Principle: The O-ring creates an airtight barrier between the VVT solenoid and engine block, allowing precise oil flow control to advance/retract camshaft timing.
-
Failure Impact: A worn O-ring causes oil leaks, leading to erratic valve timing, poor performance, or check engine lights (e.g., BMW fault code 2A82).
4. Installation Notes
-
Tools Required: Torx screwdriver, pick tool.
-
Steps:
-
Remove the VVT solenoid.
-
Replace the old O-ring (avoid twisting).
-
Lubricate with clean engine oil before reassembly.
-
