Product Description

This Arrowhead valve cover is designed for BMW engines and serves as a protective cover for the top of the cylinder head, sealing in oil and housing the mounting points for ignition coils. The valve cover, also known as a tappet cover, plays a crucial role in preventing oil leaks and ensuring the proper operation of the engine's ventilation system.

Fitment is specific to select BMW models, including F20, F21, F22, F23, F30 to F36, F10, X1, X3, X4, and X5 models equipped with N20 engines. Always confirm your BMW's model, year, engine size, and engine code before placing your order to ensure compatibility.

Common symptoms of a faulty or damaged valve cover include oil leaks around the cylinder head, a burning oil smell, engine misfires, rough idling, and visible oil on the engine. You may also notice increased oil consumption, a check engine light, or abnormal engine noise if the cover or its gasket is compromised.

If you detect any of these symptoms, it is advisable to inspect and replace the valve cover promptly. Continued driving with a leaking or cracked valve cover can lead to further engine damage, electrical issues, or contamination of ignition components.

Order your Arrowhead valve cover from MiMi Auto Parts for reliable performance and peace of mind. We offer nationwide delivery across South Africa and are always available to assist with fitment queries. Remember to verify your vehicle details before purchasing.
