BMW M54 M52tu Double Vanos Rebuild * THE MOST DETAILED VERSION ON CZcams* - Auta a dopravní prostředky
About to do this job myself - watching every video I can find on the subject😁
Already done the CCV and filter housing gasket and valve cover gasket, so this should be easy.
SHOULD...
Level 10 train wreck!! That got me ! Glad you made this video I’m doing my vanos in a few days.. thanks Nathan for great content
Golden info, I can now go do mine, I suspect no ones ever done mine at 190k. Engine is super tight and strong still so will be showing it this kind of love soon. Thanks Nathan!!!
Just did this today! I even jabbed the pick into my finger when removing the tiny seals on the caps. Thanks for your detailed video, I was able to complete this job and the engine already seems to be running much better at lower RPMs
Now I’m confident I could tackle this myself. Thank you!
Subscribed. This is CZcams at its finest, thank you Nathan.
I have a 1999 M54 M52tu Double Vano from a 328i in my 2003 325i .. with the donor 5 speed transmission.. I will be doing this job .. between you and that 50's kid I look forward to doing this job with confidence..
great video. every step explained properly and detailed just like it says in the title. thanks nathan
Great content always. Haven't even watched to the end and I know it will be informative.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 star Saturday goodness👍
Seems the old link to the VANOS Rebuild Kit is no longer available, any other recommended kits or a parts list?
Glad to see your videos, I remember being 18 years old and watching how to repair my 2001 BMW E46…
Great stuff, thank you . What kind of performance difference should you expect ?
This was very good Nathan.
I use an exacto blade knife to cut the o rings. It is a knife model builders use.
27:14 - NO! The torque for the reverse-bolts is 8 Nm/6 lb-ft!
I'm missing my M54, but still enjoying the N52K 3 stage intake.
Very clear and well shot. 'The most detailed' is inaccurate I would say.
Great instructions! Easy to follow. Excellent camera work and audio so we can see every nuance. What does a rebuild save compared to buying a new vanos?
A brand new one from BMW is quoted at $650-$750, aftermarket rebuilt ones are around $500, and the rebuild costs (assuming using a good quality rebuild kit) are only $100-150, toss in a new valve cover gasket for another $20 and the savings are pretty significant
@@PierceGomez great info. Thanks so much.
LOOOOOOTS.
A brand new VANOS is on the high side of three figures.
Nice video. Do you ever burn the rings? Propane torch?
Great video
Great instructions.
Great job!
Bro so the rattling noise coming from pressing gas pedel from m52 z3 2.8 isnt a vanos issues?thanks man nice and informative video
good work sir
How about the wear on casing ? I need some info because my replacement case has wear it should be like piston walls straight im guessing??
I love your videos
Hi , I did rebuild the vano on my E39 same engine like in your video... while the vano unit was removed I used a spanner and turned the crank a few turns...to many maybe 🤔, and the right spindle gear came out🥺, I have managed to put it back .... should I be worried before refitting the vano unit? Thank you
I have a question Nathan. Is there anything wrong with using a scotch bright disk on like a air or battery powered tool to clean these peace’s up after you get the rings off of them or put them in a mineral spirits bath before you put them back together? Just curious man that’s all
i just realized that i assembled the vanos into the engine without a sealer betwen the head and the vanos cover ( the one you put on 22:00 ) it didn't have one before i removed the cover so i thought they don't put sealer there ( the engine was running for years without leaks i only removed the cover because i did a hg job ) should i remove it back and put a sealer ?
Nathan you have a source or link for that valve cover? Thanks
Great job. Excellent instructional video and Great camera work.
You said the rattling problem is using something else, what was the something else?
If you put the outer rings in a plastic bag and in warm water their much easier to reinstall
I suppose you could heat up those o-rings so they come out of the vanos rings easier
What happens if you turn the engine over by hand? I may have made that mistake
how would you know if the o-ring is a real viton other then trusting the seller?thanx
You can probably answer this.. just bare E46 body to body. Is there a difference between a AWD and rwd just the body. Nothing else. Meaning the front frame rails subframe pick up points. So if stripped AWD car bare can I bolt up the complete rwd subframe and everything into the AWD car? I heard the tunnel may be the only difference? Possibly can work around the tunnel situation? Idk I’ve never looked under AWD car. I just became familiar with a RWD convertible car. Sorry to ask I’m a GM tech.
Who makes the valve cover kit?
Mine came with the rattle bearing and they gave me 3 of 4 1 of the bags were empty
How good is the 6 cylinder turbo engine in the F10? The n55 engine is what I’m talking about Nathan please? Not talking about the M series just the regular 5 series?
Depends how many miles, can still have rod bearing issues
Will rebuilding the vanos stop the cold idle drop I'm experiencing on my m52tu?
Hello, it did on my M52tu.
When you use Loctite, how will you ever take it apart again? It's a BMW engine, it will need to be taken apart again at some point. Seems counterproductive to glue it together.
Any tips for e39 headlights? I have 2001 540i "m-sport" and my headlights are looking pretty crappy. I also have the broken adjusters. I did buy new adjustors a few years back but, don't have the confidence to bake these open repair them, release and then polish the lens. I've seen some online for sale but they want close to $1,000 for the set. Any ideas or tips?
So...did you solve it somehow without spending massive amounts? :D
@@RealWheelDrive39 I did not...

5:19 That's what she said 😅
These seat geek commercials with the talking asses. Nice to see a Vanos blast from the past video. What vendors?
There are plastic picks for doing exactly this job
Just found your channel, I like it, first vid and subscribed and thumbs up. I'm a ret Capt, Paramedic from the fire department out here in NC, and a mechanic of 33 years, I just work on my own cars now, mainly domestic, and some Japanese of the foreign market, my only experience with a BMW is the 2001 750iL my mother used to own. The last year I believe when they boxy. I found it easy to change oil and general maintenance it never had any major issues it just became too big of a car for her. But I'm always learning and enjoy good quality mech channels. I also use the thumbs up as a book marker. I plan to do some binge watching to catch up. Thank you Sir.
Thank you for watching
