R56 Vacuum pump question

Vacuum pump question
Just curious about replacing an o ring on a vacuum pump instead of replacing the whole thing as price wise this makes sense. Is there any reason not to go this route? Should the pump be replaced at certain intervals? Is there anything I should look for when I take it off that would indicate a need to replace the whole pump? Sorry for all the questions I am new to mini and just want to make a sound decision but, if of I can save money while doing it then that's a bonus. I just don't want to destroy the motor because of a freaking vacuum pump. Thanks in advance, Mini noob.

I assumed you have N14 engine. I put few vendors that sell the whole thing. you can spend anywhere from 110 to 400...better safe than sorry:

Due to the fact that there has been so many engine failures from vacuum pumps locking up if we see one leaking we just have the rule to replace the entire pump. It may cost more up front, but a lot cheaper than an engine.

I just bought a new Pierburg vacuum pump for my N14 on Pelican Parts, and I'll be installing it this weekend. $120, great deal.

Signs of a faulty pump are: low brake booster vacuum, hard brake pedal, and brake fade during application when stopped. The brake booster hose nipple on the pump can also show signs of a problem. Look for melted or overheated plastic. We have a really great tech article that can help you with its replacement here: http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarti...eplacement.htm. Let me know if you have any questions.
Appreciate your purchase. If you ever need anything please don't hesitate to shoot me a PM.
