We have seen so many M52/M54/S52 Vanos line failures at the track that we have to offer you a solution. The factory line is prone to failure due to the OEM hard-line - this stainless steel line alleviates the issues imposed by the factory design and enables you to worry less about your Vanos system. We trust ECS Tuning's Exact-Fit Stainless Steel lines for several different applications, and their M52/M54/S52 Vanos line is no exception.

The timing chain in any vehicle can begin to stretch and rattle over time. This is a common issue, and though BMW says it is a lifetime part, most enthusiasts decide to change them. If you need only the timing chain instead of a kit, ECS Tuning has your replacement.

Over time, your engine timing components begin to wear out. Tensioners weaken, chains can stretch, and timing chain guides can wear down. All of these lead to the possibility of the timing chain jumping teeth on the sprockets, causing your timing to shift. This could result in rough idle and reduced engine power, or even complete engine failure. Prevent damage to your engine with new timing components, such as this IWIS timing chain tensioner. Note, we recommend replacing timing components every 100K miles, or sooner, depending on the condition of the timing components.

If you're not sure if your Vanos seals are bad then the only question you need to answer is if you've replaced them. Every unit from the factory came with the same failure prone o-rings and seals, even the re-manufactured units you can still get today. The only real fix is by replacing the seals and o-rings with material that is built to last in the oiled, extreme temperature environment found in these kits. 

A premium product replacement with easy to follow instructions makes rebuilding your Vanos unit a must. Even thought the power loss is barely felt it's the opposite result once you replace the seals, every car that gets rebuilt ends up wowing the customer and all of them saying they didn't realize what they lost. 

There are a number of symptoms that will plague your car as a result of these failing seals such as erratic idle, engine hesitation, stalling, and increased fuel consumption to name a few. If you've been chasing down any of these symptoms with no fix then this could be your issue.

While you 're replacing the seals in your Vanos unit it a good time to install anti-rattle spacers to tighten up the gaps in your stock assembly and get rid of that noisy Vanos clatter.
