Timing for BMW X Series E70 (2007-2013)

The VANOS system on your N51, N52, and N54 engine controls the valve timing inside the engine. The system is hydraulically operated based on instructions from the engine computer. It's very complex and BMW has not yet perfected the system. The VAN0S solenoid is the actuator that takes instruction from the ECU and activates the VANOS unit on the front of the engine. When the solenoid is failing (or failed) you can end up with a rough running engine, misfires, bad fuel economy, lack of power, and more. It should trigger multiple fault codes and a check engine light for misfires, camshaft control, VAN0S solenoid, boost pressure control, and maybe others. It's important to thoroughly troubleshoot fault codes but VAN0S solenoids are a known issue with these engines.

The VANOS solenoids are located on the front of the engine and may be replaced without removing many other components. In some cases, you may be able to remove the suspect one, clean it, reinstall, and reset your fault codes. If your fault codes come back it's a strong indication that a replacement is required. Or you can buy the new solenoid and replace instead of doing the work twice.

VANOS solenoid for the intake and exhaust are the same part number. Order 2 if you want to replace them both.

When doing any sort of repair or maintenance there is no replacement for genuine factory parts. Turner Motorsport carries the Genuine BMW brand with pride and has the parts you need to complete your next project with confidence.

We recommend replacing the solenoid sealing gaskets as well when replacing the solenoid. You can find these under T#363393

If your N52 engine is running rough, is low on power, or you are getting check engine lights for timing related issues, there is a good chance that you have a faulty VANOS component. The two most common parts to fail are the Camshaft Adjusters and VANOS Solenoids.

This repair kit from Vaico includes all of the basic parts necessary to service the VANOS system and restore smooth engine operation.

Included:

Intake Camshaft Adjuster w/ Impulse Wheel

Exhaust Camshaft Adjuster w/ Impulse Wheel

Camshaft Adjuster Bolts

VANOS Solenoid Valves

Valve Cover Gasket Set

BMW N52 3.0L Timing Chain Kit is essential for maintaining the longevity and performance of your BMW’s engine. The N52 engine, with its interference design, is particularly vulnerable to catastrophic damage if the timing chain fails. Over time, the timing chain may stretch or wear, causing the engine to skip timing or fail completely. This comprehensive kit includes all the necessary components to service the timing chain and prevent potential engine damage.

Benefits:

• Prevents catastrophic engine damage: Protects your engine from valve-piston contact due to timing chain failure.
• Comprehensive kit: Includes all OEM-quality parts required for a full timing chain service.
• Enhanced engine reliability: Replaces worn timing components to ensure proper engine timing and performance.
• Genuine BMW parts: Ensures long-lasting durability and optimal fitment for your BMW N52 engine.
• Complete solution: Includes spark plugs, timing chain, guides, tensioners, gaskets, and fluids.

BMW N62 4.4L Timing Chain Kit is essential for maintaining the longevity and performance of your engine. The timing chain guides on the N62 4.4L engine are known to be a common failure point, often leading to issues such as excessive vibration, chain "slap," and plastic particles contaminating the oil. These problems typically arise between 80,000 to 100,000 miles, and if left unattended, they can cause the timing chain to jump, resulting in costly engine damage.

This complete kit from Turner Motorsport includes genuine BMW components, ensuring you have everything you need for a proper and reliable timing chain service.

Benefits:

• Prevents Major Engine Damage: Avoid the risk of the timing chain jumping, which can lead to costly engine repairs.
• Comprehensive Kit: Includes all necessary components, such as timing chain guides and oil pan drain plug, for a complete service.
• OEM Quality: Genuine BMW parts ensure long-lasting reliability and optimal performance.
• Restores Engine Smoothness: Replaces worn guides to eliminate vibration and timing chain "slap."

Ensure your engine stays in peak condition with the BMW N62 4.4L Timing Chain Kit, designed to address common issues and maintain performance.
