      Huh, you learn something new every day I guess. Where do you get your replacements from? They seem...expensive.

        I got my replacement from my spare engine, which I then sold without a dampener. I do not look forward to shelling out whatever crazy price they will be in future.

        Pics of said failure:




        Although I have no pics of it together it looked 100% fine.

          Had the same thing happen earlier this year. Car ran rough, timing off. Cam code. Thought it was a fuel issue. One day it ran perfect, got to my parents house and it wouldn't start. Finally looked at the damper and it was separated like yours.

          Mine must've been on it's way out for a couple years because after I replaced it my car ran better than it ever has. A lot smoother

            BavAuto has em for $100 OE (order by part number, it doesn't show as a compliant piece if you use the vehicle selector tool). I don't think I found them cheaper than $300 anywhere else.

              Hmmm...BavAuto shows $520 when I search the PN (11231721169). Did you use a different one?
