This Double VANOS repair kit is made for BMW M52TU, M54 and M56 engines using the VANOS reference number 11361440142. It is designed to rebuild the existing Double VANOS unit by replacing worn sealing components and helping reduce internal play.
Over time, the original VANOS seals can harden, wear out, and lose their ability to hold oil pressure. When this happens, the VANOS unit may no longer control camshaft timing correctly, which can lead to poor low-end power, rough idle, hesitation, increased fuel consumption, and rattling from the front of the engine.
This kit is a practical repair option for the original VANOS unit. It is not a complete VANOS assembly, camshaft adjuster assembly, or full timing system kit.
Fitment depends on the engine and VANOS version installed on the vehicle. Please compare your original part number and confirm that your engine uses the BMW Double VANOS system before ordering.
The BMW Double VANOS system uses engine oil pressure to adjust intake and exhaust camshaft timing. When the original seals lose elasticity, oil pressure inside the VANOS unit drops and the system may respond slowly or inaccurately.
This repair kit replaces worn sealing components and helps reduce internal play inside the original VANOS unit. When the rest of the VANOS assembly is still in usable condition, the kit can help restore smoother power delivery, better throttle response, and more stable engine operation.
Before purchasing, compare your original OEM number with 11361440142, 11361438448, or 11361440134. Also confirm that your vehicle uses a BMW M52TU, M54, or M56 engine with the Double VANOS system.
Do not order by vehicle model only. The same BMW model may have different engine versions, production changes, or VANOS configurations depending on year, market, and equipment.
This kit repairs worn seals and internal VANOS play. It will not fix a damaged timing chain, worn tensioner, failed sensors, broken camshaft adjuster components, low engine oil pressure from other causes, or a complete VANOS unit with severe mechanical damage.
