Great video. I watched all your S54 videos. I need to do my vanos, and have a question: in every other video I saw on vanos, they do this “pre-tension” technique, where they don’t install the vanos unit all the way, leaving 5 mm gap; then tighten two bolts per hub, then release them 1/4 turn, then they tighten everything. You are not doing that. Yet, you have perfect timing by just allowing the hubs turn while tightening vanos unit to head.

Thank you for the excellent video. Where in INPA is the option to open the ITB's for measurement?
@OnlyyDansАй бұрын
Sorry, I misspoke in the video a lil bit. You can activate the servomotor via DIS or MoDiC. You can use INPA to read and clear adaptations (Select "Clear adaption values selectively" then F3 key is "Throttle Valve Adaptation"). In DIS under OPERATIONS you select Engine Control > Then under Engine Control you select Actuator, then Actuator DMS. This will communicate with the DME. After that, select optin #3 which is Service Functions, and then #8 on the next screen which is "Set el. throttle valve controller full-load stop". Just follow the instructions but it'll say to make sure the key is in position two

I really like the level of detail you give to this rebuild. I just finished rebuilding the itbs last weekend and only now I came across your channel and saw this video. If you can answer 2 questions, it would be great because I'm confused and I'm afraid I've done something wrong. Each itb(2-6) has 3 washers, 2 identical and 1 very thin. You said that the 2 identical ones are directional. What do you mean because I didn't see any difference, they are perfectly flat, not conical. Am I missing something? If you put a light behind can you see the light on the other side on the edge of the flap?Thank you very much and I hope we will see more good videos like this in the future!
@OnlyyDansАй бұрын
@@87wlo sorry I didn’t see this sooner. Believe it or not, I’ve taken apart older ITB’s and newer ITB’s and there’s very slight differences between the two. If your washers aren’t directional, then you’re good to go. As far as the light, cylinder 1 is always the furthest open (doesn’t seal perfectly, and this is normal). If you’ve followed all my instructions with the throttle set screw and adjusted them properly, and they’re within spec then you’re good to go. The computer and engine will run in the factory parameters without issue
