Hi all!! I have recently purchased a 2004 Range Rover. I bought it after sitting for around 4 years. It’s in pretty sad shape, but I am no stranger to projects — and especially not afraid of range rovers/bmw’s. When I first purchased, was told it needed a transmission, but it turned out that it...

Hi guys I have a 05 Range Rover with a M62 engine that I had to retime because of replacing chain guides. I have installed everything back so far except for valve covers. But before finishing up I have 2 questions for any of those who may have done this job. 1) I used timing kit cam lock blocks...

After 255,000km I am changing the vanos solenoid valves on my L322 with M62 V8. I have bought the valves (part #11367524489) but they have not come with O ring or flange seals. Where can I get these from (part numbers please) 2002 L322 M62 Petrol V8

2004 vogue 4.4L V8 230,000km I just wanted to know is it possible to remove the vanos solenoids and get the cleaned? or will this cause problems? the oil filter was disintegrated into a sludge literally it was coming out in thick heavy pieces, I flushed it and replaced it with a new one and new...

I'm in the process of dismantling one of my M62TUs to replace timing chain guides and noticed a weird problem with one of the VANOS units. Please see the videos below, you can see the passenger's side bank (CYL 1-4) Vanos unit extending out on a manual (clockwise) turn of the crankshaft, where...

2005 RR (M62TU): So when I replaced my chains and guides, as well as rebuilt my VANOS several years ago, I noticed when I torqued the Dr side VANOS back up that it had a bit if play. I've been receiving P0021 for the last six months, and my guess is that VANOS (Bank 2 Dr Side) is causing the...

A friend told me about this product, he has a Rav 4 with similar cam advance gear rattle. The system is basically an accumulator tank that fills up with pressurized oil when the engine is running. When the engine is shut off, pressurized oil is trapped in the tank by a check valve. When the...

2003 BMW M62 Range Rover. When the engine hasn't warmed up and the colder it is, the more the symptoms show up. Rough idle, almost wants to stall. If you press on gas, it sometimes will stall or sometimes will rev up. If you put it in gear, the load will cause it to stall somwtimes. Sometimes...

I sent in my 2003 4.4 for a vanos gear swap after running on bad seals for about a year. Now the mechanic says I need to replace my driver side head. Hes basically saying the bad vanos affected the cams and wore them down. He says its better to go ahead and swap out the entire head instead of...

Hi I am looking for some help. My 2003 RR L322 needs new guides, since I am going to have the entire front cover off can someone advise me on what I should change? I know there are some parts that does not go bad so any insight would be helpful.

2003 RR 4.4L US Version I removed the vanos solenoid on the passenger side by unscrewing it by hand with no problem, cleaned it and replaced with a new gasket. Removed the gasket on the driver side one, but the solenoid spins but doe snot come out. An internet search on a bimmer site indicates a...

Hi All, 2002 4.4 with LPG, I have a low speed misfire (on gas and petrol) and getting Cam Position errors. So I took out the VCC solenoids to clean and check. When measuring the resistance across the 2 contacts I would of expected a few ohms but both are showing 4-5 m ohms. Is this right? Digby

Looks like the wife's 2003 Rover will be getting timing chains, guides and tensioners done, as well as the Vanos seals from Beisin. We looked at trading it against a really clean '08 Supercharged, but the numbers weren't making sense to me. So if we're keeping it, I'll get rid of the noise it...

Well, working on VANOS today, the last bolt that can't come out broke another two 1200 ft lb HD t-55 keys :shock: Then proceeds to spin the actual sprocket without the camshaft turning which skipped the teeth.. Dad comes over and says he'll take care of it, decides to use vice grips to hold the...

Currently doing my VANOS gaskets, after 15 minutes I hit my first road block being the electrical box. Videos say "oh ha, there are clips", and others just show the box being tugged off. I don't know if I'm dumb or stupid, but I can't see a visible way to get them off :lol: I surely can't wait...

Hey guys, I just finished a timing job on an 04 RR with the VANOS M62. Everything was fine for a few days, until last night. The truck threw P0347, p1300, p0305, p0306, p0307 and p0308 codes. Meaning the whole Bank 2 side of the motor was dead. I tested a coil, and got spark, I swapped cam...

Hi Guys, My VANOS never made the diesel like chatter until recently after I replaced the valve cover gaskets, upper timing cover gaskets, vanos solenoid gaskets, and timing chain tensioner. When the covers were off I noticed quite a bit of sludge. However, the guides were in tact. They were...

Hiya I've got an M62 engine and its done about 150,000 miles. Its getting a little rattle on start up ,not all the time but more often now and Im looking to sort it out. A few weeks ago I changed the cam cover gaskets as there was a slight leak and knowing they hadn't been changed thought it...
