    Are the left and right window switches in coupes interchangeable? My Driver window switch finally broke and would rather replace both sides but the right(passenger) side is 2x the price of the left?!

      How common is a timing cover leak?
      Nothing ever drips down to the bellypan/ground etc. but there is always a film of oil right around where the head meets the block.

      I have looked at the vanos gasket, the "freeze" plug under vanos area, OFHG area and nothing. Granted the area I am looking at is hard to see as so many items are in that area. I can't imagine it's the vanos line as these seem to not just drip slightly when defective.

      The most oil I see is near the tensioner where the timing cover meets the head/block. The most oil/grime seems to be right there, and that's a bummer as to do it right the head should probably come off.

      FWIW the vehicle has 72k on it.

      Couldn't get photo of the worst area, these might be useless photos.
