Vanos Removal - S50 euro

[Mohammed_A]

I want to remove my vanos for an irritating oil leak that seems to be originating from the seal to the head/cam box.

Any pointers on how exactly to remove the vanos without affecting timing???

i have the bmw TIS system, it looks quite simple there but i want to know from anyone who has done this before.

I have the s50 euro so its a single vanos.....

Euro S50's have Dual Vanos. S50B30US has single VANOS, intake side. You must be confused.

You could just fix the oil leak, rather than removing a beneficial system that keeps torque available throughout the rev range.

I think he just wants to take the VANOS unit off to be able to fix the leak, not actually remove the VANOS from the motor completely.

The Euro 3.0 litre is single VANOS.
