Detailed Description
Mahle VS50540 is an engine valve cover gasket set designed for BMW engines that require a molded rubber sealing profile. The gasket material helps maintain a secure seal at the valve cover, while the included spark plug tube seals address common leak points around the plug wells. This part cross-references BMW 11 12 7 796 378 and FEL-PRO VS 50864 R for the same application. Compatible With 2009-2013 BMW X5 and 2009-2011 BMW 335d, this gasket set supports service work where valve cover sealing integrity is critical. The Mahle VS50540 is a practical choice for BMW X5 and BMW 335d maintenance when replacing a worn or leaking valve cover gasket assembly.
What It Helps Fix
- Oil seepage around the valve cover perimeter
- Oil leakage into spark plug tube wells
- Burning oil odor from external engine leaks
- Visible gasket hardening, shrinkage, or cracking
- Sealing loss after valve cover service
Installation Notes and Tips
Clean the valve cover and cylinder head sealing surfaces thoroughly before installation. Inspect the cover for warpage, cracks, or contamination that could affect sealing. Replace the gasket only after confirming the engine application matches the listed BMW X5 and BMW 335d fitment, and follow the vehicle service procedure for torque sequence and tightening specifications.
