M62TU VANOS Installation Verification Tools for Seal Kit BS051

These tools assist with installing the M62TU VANOS BS051 kit and checking that the unit moves through the expected range. (Picture #1)

O-ring installation tool: After removing the thrust washer, fit the machined ring inside the center helix gear. Secure it with the thumbscrew to hold the gear up while you remove and install the O-rings. This keeps the gear from dropping and leaves one hand free. (Picture #2)

Rotation-check tool: Once the new O-rings are installed, use the second machined tool to check the rotation of the VANOS center section—the part that bolts to the intake camshaft.

1. Reinstall the center VANOS section and thrust washer into the outer section.
2. Insert the aluminum plate’s pins into two holes in the top of the center section.
3. Hold the lower section steady and turn the plate counterclockwise to its stop.
4. Mark both pin positions on the side of the outer VANOS section. (Picture #3)
5. Hold the lower section steady and turn the plate fully clockwise.
6. Check that the pin that was on the right, now lines up with the left-hand mark. (Picture #4)
