Top class , detail the best and to the point 🎩

[@kevinshasteen5682]

Your attention to details was nice to see. You've answered questions that most other Single Vanos vids dont. Thx for taking the time to make the vid

[@spankranchgarage]

Glad to help!

I believe the Bentley manual says the vanos should degree the cam about 12.5 degrees if I’m not remembering correctly and they show how to measure it setting up either a dial in dictator type of angle gauge and observing the movement of the cam while engaging it with the lone wolf 3000 just like you did 😊

i just looked this up to figure out stuff on my m50 and dint expect being sucked into a beautiful 21 min long video, literally watched every second

[@spankranchgarage]

Thanks for watching hope it helps!

[@dbldwn3842]

Man, I could really use your help on my S52 E36 and the intermitting powerloss I'm experiencing. Don't know if it's vanos or some kind of sensor issue. Watching you diagnose in this video is awesome. I sure wish you where working on my car...just sayin

[@DTEAuto]

Found this as I am researching information on single vanos that I have here at the shop to diagnose. I found your approach very detailed and well thought out and explained, very in line with how I would approach it as well. Thank you for sharing and the effort you put into this.

[@spankranchgarage]

Glad I could help set you in the right direction. Let me know if you need anything and good luck with your fix!

[@AristoleManuelMajorTsudaobAwar]

I got an M50. Thanks bro. This was very useful tbh

[@Freedo70]

damnnnn fireball on the shift at 19:54! thanks again for getting this pile back on the road. I cannot wait to test it out

[@Gemini_Beautify]

Perfect Sunday content 😎

[@CarGuy1]

Excellent video! Maybe now I can fix my timing issue. Going to tear it apart for the third time now.

[@mpower320i]

Absolute genius 🤯👌🏼💯

[@anythingtrack7357]

Thanks a lot a great help quality guide that gave me the balls to fix mine.

[@spankranchgarage]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@SurrendeRMaS]

Hi, do you think I can correct timing without removing vanos unit? I have 15-40 on camshaft and I should have 20-45 or like you 23-48. my 328 is running like 323.. not a big difference, but it is still there.

[@spankranchgarage]

Possibly you could slip a wrench in and make it happen. I haven't tried but it could be possible

[@Sccrd4Lfe]

"pretty nice in here", but all the ones that get beat properly always do. lmaoooo sound like me

[@gasperrutnik4394]

Can i get the parts number for the rebuild kit ?

[@krutchgaming2987]

I would like to know how you reset the tolerances with the scanner could you talk me through it

[@spankranchgarage]

In the software INPA. Under the code screen you will see "Adaptions". You can then clear the ecu learning for various things. Cam/vanos, Throttle position, etc.

[@fairchildSCR]

Is that the Rom Raider logger you are using?

[@spankranchgarage]

Yes

[@aarondemirovic1375]

I wish you were my neighbor 😂😊

[@spankranchgarage]

I dont think you want that!!

[@daveunbranded]

I have an issue with vanos exhaust limit not reached. Not sure where to go with that. It will not go past 4k under load. Not sure it is the issue or just an issue

[@spankranchgarage]

Sounds like that is a newer engine with Vanos on both the Intake cam and the Exhaust cam?

[@gabrielmascia5460]

Dude is there anyway i can reach you

[@cihangirasi]

What is camshaft m54b30? And program name? Thanks

[@spankranchgarage]

It’s a stock m52b28 camshaft. I use INPA, RomRaider, and megalogviewer for all this

[@cihangirasi]

@@spankranchgarage I get an error code 212 inpa. Single vanos m52. Camshaft degrees range from 16-24. I'm using the m54b30 camshaft. Vanos repaired. But the solenoid is not healthy. I doubt it. The piston inside the solenoid is inconsistent. I doubt the timing. But the timing was set up with the kit. The engine sometimes runs rough and idle is sometimes bad. I suspect timing or solenoid

[@spankranchgarage]

We’re you super careful to turn engine only clockwise during your timing setup? Also do you mean it fluctuates from 16-24 at idle? That’s not good

[@cihangirasi]

@@spankranchgarage Inpa camshaft degrees 16-24 live data. Yes, it is translated 2 times in the direction of the clock. And timing is controlled. Everything is true and the rocker cover is fitted. Does timing deteriorate as time goes on? There may be such a possibility

[@spankranchgarage]

Timing moving 8 degrees at idle indicates to me that there is some mechanical issue. Perhaps main timing chain tensioner, secondary chain tensioner, or a loose reluctor wheel on the intake cam

[@andrekemp5059]

Jes! That intake cam is Retarded. So the chain stretched. Readjust. All good agen
