Nice to see our VANOS solenoids filters being used in this project (at 42min), Hello from Doritech Motorsport 👍🏻

Hi Pamo, excellent video by yourself and a lifesaver to be completely honest, based in NI so Mr Vanos was a trek away. i tackled my S50B30 yesterday following rough idle when warm. O-ring upgrade and rattle kit as well as an oil Change today. Did all solenoid filters and dry solder joint checks before, so like new now. Now no hesitation in low rpm and rough idle has disappeared. Cheers Again 👍

Good evening! Please tell me, where did you buy spare parts and tools?

[Steve-eiew]

Hi Pamo, great vid and watch your others with interest, i am following your advice as i have exact same problem with my M3. A couple of questions please I have tested my solenoids with a 9v battery, they are clicking but not as loud as yours it seems? does this mean they are OK? as im using just the standard 9v what was the outcome of your vanos work here, did it cure the rough idle etc? thanks in advance

Hi Paul, is this engine runs by MS41.2?

[emilioguitart]

Hi! Is neccessary the specific timing tools for the s50b30 timing process? I’m looking for the tools and all of kits seems to fit both s54 and s50 and they are a bit suspicious …

[lukekennedy]

Hey pamo could you tell me were you get the solenoid filter gauges please

[MrPcan]

hello mate, got one question while pulling spline gear out of sprocket do i need to loosen all the allen bolts? my engine is broken over 10 years fells like vanos not working at all the only problem i can find is that both of my gears are impossible to move anywhere until allens are loose... 🙁

[hannes]

Hello, i have a question that i can't find an answer to.
Is it possible to change the timing chain without removing the cilinder head?

[larshaukdalen]

Hello! I am monting vanos again on my s50b30. But i dont know how to find out how the spline/gear that goes inn to the intake cam sits! Do you know a easy way to find out?

[vinceevans]

[aaronguffey]
