Re: S50B32 & S54 Constant Pressure Valve O-Ring & Tool

You know that very much looks like the tool I made to do mine which I subsequently handed on for others to use. I made it out of a Renault sump plug adapter.

Is this your ebay add Gary?

Tilly mine is exactly the same as yours and I was always under the impression I was missing a spanner due to the empty slot on the left but very interesting to hear it was how it was supplied from new.

Strange though how there is a disparity between toolboxes.

Have you ever considered doing the vanos yourself with one of the kits on ebay, they just seem expensive for what they are really.
