Just wondered if anyone has a vanos setting tool for a 323 ci (325) e46??

Head gasket's decided to let go & dont fancy paying bmw £2700 so me & my trusty mechanic are going to do it.

I know what they cost so dont mind leaving a cash deposit, Just dont want to pay 200 odd quid for something i'll only use once (Well hopefully i will )

Thanks james

 

ive got the complete vanos timing kit, unfortunately im in glasgow,hopefully someone nearer will be able to help you.

 

I hope so mate did'nt realise how expensive they were. Just hope i can sort 1.

Do you have to remove the VANOS?

 

i may be wrong but don't you just remove it and then replace the unit then give the solenoid power & earth to wind back the unit then bolt on time up and disconnect the power?

maybe alex can advise further?
