.: BMW Vanos Kits & Services
Often maligned & missunderstood, the notorious BMW vanos system can now be repaired using our custom-manufactured kits & our technical expertise.
In our experience, many 'vanos problems' aren't actually vanos problems at all. However, due to the amount of 'internet paranoia', often fuelled by garages & "specialists" with a vested interest in selling you a new unit it is easy to understand why the general motorist is often sold something they might not actually need! Of course, sometimes they do go wrong, but we prefer to take the time & effort to discuss your issues, thoroughly test your system if necessary, determine if and what needs to be done & then work with you in whichever way you decide based on an informed descision. In the majority of cases we can help resolve issues without the major expense of a new unit.
We were the first in the UK to develop the uprated seal kits, so our knowledge & expertise are second to none. We sell these kits worldwide on a regular basis, have supplied race teams & even other BMW specialists! We don't shout about our services on forums to generate work, we prefer genuine customer recommendation from impressed customers - those in-the-know know where to come - Iridium!
