Improper VANOS function will cause reduced power and poor fuel economy. The VANOS system is BMWs version of variable valve timing and can be found on the intake and or exhaust camshafts. The system uses a pair of electrically actuated solenoids that direct the flow of pressurized oil to the VANOS gears. Depending on engine requirements the VANOS system can advance or retard timing as requested by the ECU.
For BMW owners seeking ultimate Vanos system reliability and performance, NRW Design 4130 Chromoly Vanos Covers (With Bolts) from Turner Motorsport provide a proven and durable solution built to endure the demands of high-performance driving.
