Well, I'm pretty precise on those things, so I would say no

I already ordered a new AOS @ pelicanparts (somehow it's much cheaper for me to order parts in the US, even with Germany being our neighbour country, and some parts are up to 50% cheaper in the US)

In the pelicanparts forum was something very interesting; There's a PCV valve in the driver side valvecover and one of the two vacuum hoses to the AOS comes from that PCV valve. If this valve gets clogged with oil residu or something, the vacuum on the AOS will rise and result in AOS failure..

There seem to be people that replaced the AOS four or five times in just a few hundred miles before looking any further...
