BMW E39 M5 S62 ECS VANOS Seal Kit

Revitalize your BMW E39 M5 S62 engine with the ECS VANOS Seal Kit, designed to restore peak performance and eliminate common Vanos system issues. Over time, the original seals in the Vanos units can harden and wear, leading to reduced hydraulic pressure and compromised cam timing control. Symptoms such as cold start rattle, erratic idle, and decreased torque output are common indicators of failing seals. ECS Tuning offers a cost-effective solution with their precision-engineered seal kit, crafted to OEM standards for reliability and durability.

Key Benefits:

  • Rebuilds Vanos units to eliminate performance issues
  • Precision-engineered seals ensure optimal cam timing control
  • DIY-friendly with detailed installation guide for professional results
  • Includes bronze impregnated Teflon seals and 70A Viton backing o-ring for enhanced durability and chemical resistance

Our Vanos seals were engineered in-house and precision machined to exacting tolerances to restore the original performance of the Vanos units.

Bronze impregnated Teflon seal for durable dynamic sealing.
70A Viton backing o-ring for extended chemical resistance, removing the OE failure point.

The main reason all of the VANOS units will eventually fail is because the material used for the sealing rings from the factory is not designed for that type of environment. When this happens the only option that BMW leaves you with is buying a new and expensive VANOS unit with the same sealing rings that failed in your original unit. The VANOS system found in BMW engines is a great feature (when it’s working properly), keeping your power curve smooth and responsive especially in lower to mid RPM range. What usually goes unnoticed is the gradual loss of power within this range as the vehicle's age due to slowly failing seals within the VANOS unit. The way the VANOS system works is based off of oil pressure triggered by a solenoid that allows for a small range of timing degree adjustment, this is where the power curve is affected. When the seals begin to fail (all of them do) there is less pressure to advance the timing reducing the power in that low to mid range. Because this happens slowly it's very hard to notice a difference until you refresh your VANOS unit, then you easily realize the response you've been missing.
