Need OFHG and VCG replacement. Best local Price?

Rezinator · 11-09-2018, 04:36 PM

Looking for Dealership or Reputable Indy shop to change my Oil Filter Housing Gasket and Valve Cover Gasket.
Anyone recommend a good shop and pricing?
So far I’m getting $600 for the OFHG and $1500 for the VCG including new Valve Cover.

Thanks in advance!

Call Martin. He installed an FMIC for me last weekend. Great work. Reasonable price.

Go with Martin.

I highly recommend. Very knowledgeable and probably done this so much he can do with eyes closed. No exaggeration. He did mine and a bunch of other stuff. Only person that touches my car.

I own Spooln Motorsports, and am located in Baltimore, MD. I stand behind all my work, and warranty it.

My dealer said the VCG is covered under SULEV warranty and replaced it without question. Not sure about OFHG as I replaced it myself for short $. If your car originally came from a state that required the more stringent emissions, they should honor it. I have the n51 motor.

Anyone know who can replace VCG and Ignition Coil/Spark Plugs in the Nova region at reasonable rates? (or MD).

I have a BMW X3 2011 xDrive28i. Martin does not have the software to work on this car.
