SYMPTOMS OF FAULT

Symptoms of this failure include; overall loss of power and torque particularly in the lower RPM range, loss of power with air conditioning on, louder idle, increased fuel consumption and difficult cold weather starts and even stalls.

THE FAULT

The seals fitted to the pistons within your vehicles Vanos unit wear prematurely because they are constructed of poor quality materials; causing loss of torque and power!

If you drive a BMW 6 cylinder vehicle 1993-2006 your Vanos (variable valve timing unit) is most likely failing. The O-rings ﬁtted to the pistons within the Vanos unit wear prematurely because they are constructed of poor quality Buna rubber which is not suited to the elevated temperatures of their location. The seals fail and lead to Vanos unit failure. BMW do not provide replacement seals, they do provide complete Vanos units at vast expense but these again are ﬁtted with the same poor quality seals that will fail again.
