 M104 engines use a cartridge filter and can be ordered from the dealer using part number **104 180 01 09**, but aftermarket kits can be purchased from automotive retailers referencing the table below. Kits should come with a new seal ring for replacement on the filter cap.  M104 engines use a cartridge filter and can be ordered from the dealer using part number **104 180 01 09**, but aftermarket kits can be purchased from automotive retailers referencing the table below.

 +  - Clean mating surfaces of cylinder head, upper, and lower timing covers
 +  - Apply sealant in the corners of the mating surfaces
 +  - Install new rubber u-shaped seal and press the ends of the seal into the sealant
 +  - On the exhaust side, apply another small layer of sealant across the top of the rubber seal. This corner tends to leak at any opportunity it has.
 +  - Apply sealant to the mating surface of the timing cover. Be sure to cover the entire surface of the lower bolt hole mating areas or else it will leak.
 +  - Apply a light coat of motor oil to the top of the rubber u-shaped seal allowing the timing cover to slide on without folding the seal over
 +  - Assemble timing cover to cylinder head. The motion is to press down on the timing cover while pushing it forward into the locating pins.
 +  - Secure the bottom two 13mm hex bolts first while continuing to press down on the timing cover
 +  - Fasten the other timing cover bolts evenly and torque them to 25Nm

 +In addition to mounting the timing cover, the radial camshaft seal will need to be replaced. A special tool is required to install this seal properly
 +
 +  - Insert tool into the end of the camshaft
 +  - Apply oil to the inside perimeter of the sealing hole and to the seal itself
 +  - Slide the seal onto the tool and press in
 +  - Remove the tool once the seal is no longer in contact with it
 +  - Tap the seal in with a socket until seal is flush with surface
 +    - If seal still leaks when flush with surface, then reinstall a new seal in a different position. A groove must have been worn at the previous location causing a leak.
