Vanos seal replacement

Recommended Posts

So been getting the "vanos jammed" code quite a bit, so I'd say it's time to replace the seal.

Does anyone know a good place to sort them from? Or anyone else looking at doing theirs so we can split the freight?

You should be good if you start here: http://www.beisansystems.com/

Read up on the procedure before you buy anything. I'm not sure about the "jammed" code... is that a loose translation from something else? If a solenoid isn't working properly you'll need to do more than the seals.

ordered the double Vanos seals and anti-rattle rings from Beian Systems yesterday. Other gaskets and stuff through E-Bay, cost around $300, then found a full kit for less http://www.ebay.com/itm/121263112925?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Yeah have been reading up on the procedure, doesn't seem too bad. Might see if I can hold off until I do the cams up as well. Sorry can't remember exactly what the code says (taken from INPA), it's to do with the Vanos piston jamming which research says is usually the seal has failed. I'll give it a few days then check the code again, let you know exactly what it says.

Yes have been looking at full kits..... not sure if I trust the Ebay kits without knowing who their supplier is but will keep looking, thanks for the info.
