I was a sceptic at first, but when the product arrived I could tell these guys had actually done there research, were using quality materials, had everything properly documented and supplied everything necessary all neatly packaged up with complete end to end installation instructions and online help if required. Guys thanks very much you saved me thousands and I am back on the road wiht no further problems. I installed myself and my only recommendation I would make is your do an online video of the step by step change over instead of those photo's which really aren't high res so you find yourself checking and checking again. But overall pure genius guys you developed a solution to an engineering flaw!! Thanks again.

I had the notorious V8 water transfer front seal leak on my BMW, cost of repair by local BMW dealer would have been thousands of pounds even an expanding water transfer pipe from the US would have been expensive, plus the engine strip down would have been hours of labour. I sent away for Bimmerfix , followed the instructions to the letter and IT WORKED. It has saved me a mint in money and car down time, been running for 250 miles at present, no leak!! I highly recommend this product as the first and by the look of it the last repair to this terrible BMW design fault.

Very easy to install and takes less than half the time of replacing the transfer tube. Not sure how long the repair will last, but I see no reason why it shouldn't last as long as the engine. If you are not replacing the water pump at the same time make sure you order all the o-rings and connecting tube as they do not come with the kit.

BMW X5 E70 4.8i 2008. At 167700 kms water transfer pipe started to leak. 167750 kms it was time to replace/repair as the leak was getting worse. I didn't want to gor for an OEM replacement due to cost and I feel replacing a flawed component with the same flawed component that would fail again. The stent made sense as it would cover 3 inches of pipe and timing cover are instead of a millimetre or so of seal and timing cover (a slit if you like). If you follow the instructions and ensure you emery the timing caver and inner transfer pipe you shouldn't have an issue. I've just come back from a trip to Perisher and Thredbo, -6C to -10C with a return trip of around 1000kms (included touring around the area). All is good, no perceptible coolant drop or leaks.. I removed my fan and radiator to give me more room to work. It takes me about 40 minutes to strip down parts to remove the water pump, quicker for re-install. I thorughly recomend.

I put it in and it is not leaking anymore, need to see how it works long term. Great instructions and comes with all the tools and accessories. The sealant is an ordinary Black RTV gasket maker you can get at Sutozobe for $6. The stent is custom made and would be tough to make. If it holds up it is worth the money. Frank 2003 BMW 745iL
