We have seen
many E36 M3's that have a rough or uneven idle speed, often as
a result of incorrect camshaft/vanos timing - particularly those
that have been removed or worked on in the past. Many general
garages are unaware of the correct procedures for setting the
cam timing before refitting the vanos units.
At Iridium we can remove your vanos unit, strip &
clean it, install our uprated Viton® solenoid seal
& bolt kit**, check & reset your cam timing before re-assembling
& refitting the vanos unit. This typically makes the engine
run smoother, restores performance & in quite a few instances
can reduce the infamous "vanos grumble".
Included in these works are a full vanos diagnostic
health check on our BMW GT1/DIS system (see our vanos diagnostics
page), & new seals between the vanos unit cylinder head. As
an optional service we can also check & adjust your cam shims
(extra charge applies).
