Lads, my cousins E60 M5 is going into limp mode every now and again and gears seem to be a little hesitant to change up.. been told it's a vanos issue and needs replacing? Not too clued up on these so forgive me for asking but can these systems not be rebuilt?? Been quoted €9,000 to replace for new. Any help or info would be appreciated.
9,000 hahaha
Get into valdas (motor confidence) Ive seen has fixed M3 double vanos. Probably a bigger job cos it's a V10 over a I6 but still wouldn't be 9,000 lol
Keep us informed. Fahys in oranmore good shout also and if your ever there you will be amazed by the machinery laying around. Prob 750k worth of savage machines on any given day
Extreme vanos failure can lead to metal parts being sent around the engine which is never going to be good and will most likely result in an engine tear down. Not saying this is whats happened but if an E60 M5 engine did need to be opened up it's going to rack up a nice bill in part and labour as there will be parts that would be foolish not to replace when engine is apart.
First things first is to get it diagnosed by a reliable and reputable source, if your cousin is Dublin based or near Dublin then get him to take the car to Motor Confidence.
Hope this helps,
They give oil pump issues and there's several of them, get it to someone who's got experience with them but it can get very costly!
