Vanos Noise

[GregorFuk]

Vanos filter is easy to change, I do it on every oil change. BMW Watford sell kits with the required filter and o-rings on ebay.

That's my point guys, you'd have thought it should be part of the service schedule, have clean /change this number of times myself,

All sorted ta.
Had some preventative maintenance done whilst it was being checked.

Clutch was on the limit too.



Expensive inspection !!

I'll post up description later

As a matter of Interest , what presure does the vanon pump generate,in order to advance/ retard cams, I get pump is driven by the camshaft, and advances through use of solinoids, has acumulator vessel etc, so good seals will play a big part, but ultimately it's the pressure that does the job, can this pressure be checked ?

Around 115bar as far as i know. Never checked it myself, so can't say for sure. You can check it with inpa/dis.

Cheers select, will have a look at that on inpa, I've got completely stripped head and vanos, interested in how it all works

Thats cool.. i've seen mine open a couple weeks ago and i still don't fully understand how it all works

Got the car back yesterday after some open heart surgery and new clutch.
Love it.

Someone will have one less big bill to worry about if I sell.
