.: BMW E36 M3 Vanos Solutions
The E36 BMW M3 vanos unit can fail prematurely due to the inferior standard materials used in the actuating solenoid seals. Replace these with our uprated Viton™ material, as used in aerospace & military applications - Viton can handle around twice the temperature of the standard NBR seals & has far greater resitance to the effects of engine oils compared to the standard ones!
Got a rough or lumpy idle & a bit of that famous "vanos-grumble"? This is fairly common on M3's & can usually be rectified with our popular cam-timing reset service along with our uprated solenoid seal kit, & at around 50% the cost of a 'reconditioned' unit is great value!
Included with each solenoid seal kit is our uprated high-tensile bolt kit to remove the possibility of the bolt heads shearing off resulting in a catastrophic loss of engine oil - another design limitation of the standard set up.

VANOS REMOVAL & CAM TIMING CHECK / RESET - Get rid of that grumble!
Got
a lumpy idle? Vanos sound like a ball-bearings in a can? We can
remove your vanos unit, strip & clean it, install our uprated
Viton® solenoid seal & bolt kit, check
& reset your cam timing (correctly, unlike some others....)
before re-assembling & refitting the vanos unit along with a
new cam-cover gasket set. This typically makes the engine run smoother,
restores performance & in the majority of instances has the
nice 'side effect' of significantly reducing or even removing
the infamous "vanos grumble", & all at half the price
of 'refurbished' ones.
Included in these works are a full vanos test & diagnostic session
on our state-of-the-art Autologic system, & new uprated
viton seals between the vanos unit & cylinder head.
As an optional service we can also check & adjust your cam shims
(extra charges appliy).
