Wow so clean!! I admittedly never clean the outside. And I use assembly lube. Be careful not to scratch the piston!! All of the diy watching this the piston and bore are extremely soft!! A razor will scratch it! And you MUST USE SOFT JAWS. Be careful.

I had a Vanos cast iron toothed drive ring (belt drive -not chain) break into four peices whilst running on my Volvo V40. It did 10 valves. When I ordered the replacement from Volvo they said they'd never seen it before. It turns out that when the belt had been replaced previously, they jammed it up using a pry bar when torquing up the retaining bolt and cracked it 😐

@curtisthackeray2237 Рік тому
Didn't see the vehicle applications in the description. Is there any test you can do to verify your vanos needs rebuild?
@JamiesGarage1 Рік тому
Oof, nice catch. I updated the description to include the vehicle application. If you have fault codes for the vanos and you have 100k miles or more, then it it's time for a rebuild. The vanos can wear down over time and it won't cause a check engine light, so it's a good idea to rebuild it after 100k miles or so.

Is vanos wear just mileage related? Or are there other factors to contribute to wear?
@MrJamesshipman Рік тому
Depending on what vanos system you have. M54 yes. All of these engines have vanos ware out in 40k miles. New seals are much better quality and last much longer. (i have 100k on my rebuild and still strong) N54 some have problems with the bolts braking. But mostly it's oil change intervals. Example new York city i don't see any vanos problems but people are changing the oil every 3k miles. Louisiana we have 3 vanos rebuild every week. Most don't change the oil until 12k miles and when they do it's at 5 min oil change for $15.
@busterscrugs Рік тому
It's purely related to lack of servicing. Notice how this unit was covered in black sludge/varnish? That's from "extended" oil change intervals. I've got 200k miles on my original vanos unit, my buddy has 250k miles on his. Both M54B30's.
@MrJamesshipman Рік тому
The ms 42/ 43 and 45 (the control unit for the M54) do not send a check engine light if the vanos is malfunctioning. Run a vanos tolerance scan with auto logic and see the response difference. Many of the M54 vanos need repair but the majority of drivers don't notice.
@adammoonface Рік тому
Mines a 2001 E46 330ci, so M54b30. Got it off my grandfather last year. It's immaculate and has been serviced by BMW main dealer annually, and only had 42k miles on it. I'm dailying it and have got it up to 59k miles pretty quick, but doing oil service every 7.5k miles.
