there is a knocking sound when its idling but better to use the MODICIII...it will show vanos failure, the repair kit is approx RM280 to RM350.....depends on the workshop.....

The S54 was also on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 2002 through 2004.The S54 is also known as the Engine of Damocles because of the tendency of early production M3s to explode spectacularly at elevated engine speeds as a result of oiling issues. BMW attempted to blame vehicle owners for the failures early on but eventually started replacing rod bearings, oil pumps, and whole engines under warranty.

I want to find out if there is any forummers who have changed the vanos seal (i.e. from the BUna type to Vitron type). Questions:
1. Is the vanos seal kit (of Vitron type) available in KL. If yes, where & roughly how much
2. How much did it cost (i.e. labour cost) to change the vanos seal
3. Which recommended workshop with the experience
4. What's the experience after the change of the seals.

Thanks alot.

Dear Sifus,

How much it cost for the tools for vanos setting & adjustment?

 

[Hammer278]

More than a month later. Here goes:

Old Vtec is purely mechanical with no ECU/DME control. Vanos uses electrical solenoid actuation with DME control. So it is more sophisticated.

The was some discuss in the US boards that earlier Double VANOS for non-M engines are not continously variable, it does have 2 cam lobes just like Vtec but actuated a lot more accurately. The nett effect is same for most people, can you feel it ?. More so for some and almost nil for most.
The M3 Double-Vanos is truely continously variable. It screams like a chain-saw from 6000 rpm onwards!.

I can say my Single Vanos M50TU has one cam change at 2800rpm that I felt before when going uphill on 3rd gear. If there is another cam change any higher than 4500 rpm, I never felt it becuase from 4000 rpm to redline is very quick in the M50 engine. Besides the engine screams and I am concentrating on the perfect shift point to feel minor nudges of the car. I would say going uphill (a long and fairly steep uphill) would be easier to feel the second cam change.

In the Honda Intregra Type-R, the 3 cam changes are so distinct even a co-driver can feel it on a flat road or on a track. IMO, this is the VTEC that really works. The normal VTEC 3 or non-Type R engine, one can hardly tell.
On my old SOHC Accord 2.3 manual I felt the 4200 rpm cam change only. It is the sweet spot towards the red line. Alas, it takes forever to get to 4000 rpm due to Honda's long gearing and the weight of the Accord. Worse thing, the Accord consumes TWICE the gas if one drives within that power band compared to normal drive.

Euro

I always wondered why my car behaves like this....when car changes to 4th gear at 90km/h, and revs go up to around 2500rpm and when I maintain speed at 90km/h, I feel something like a gear change and revs drop even lower to around 2200rpm. Is this the VANOS at work?

Hi, I'm newbie here.
Want to get to know more about BMW.
Single/Double VANOS is it something like engine twin cam and single cam??? bow bow

 

[Daniel E30]

Should I regret selling my Honda h22a accord for bm? Vtecs screams.....vanos grunts and my proton exora cps engine squeals softly.....

Should I regret selling my Honda h22a accord for bm? Vtecs screams.....vanos grunts and my proton exora cps engine squeals softly.....

I had an EG6 B18c which has more fun factor compared to H22A and I never regretted turning bimmer. Its a different class to compare. Nevertheless, the VTEC has a special place in my heart..hehe

 

[Daniel E30]

yeah, i had to choose, let go of my vtec to get the bimmer or not...within hours, i made d decision. i prefer 6 potters. and that classic looking e30, which i remember from my childhood days. Now i will slowly look for a nice 330. a few brothers have messaged me. lets see.

B18C sreams the loudest, amongst all engine vtec engines. One of the best. H22A is heavier, but more torque. and EG6 is fun. Hey, you use a m52b28. what stuffs you bikin?
