What This Part Does
The BMW Double VANOS system adjusts intake and exhaust camshaft timing using engine oil pressure. When the original rubber seals lose elasticity, oil pressure inside the VANOS system drops and the unit can no longer control valve timing correctly.
This repair kit replaces worn sealing components and helps eliminate internal play, restoring smoother power delivery, more stable idle and improved throttle response in the original VANOS unit.
