By continuously adjusting both intake and exhaust camshaft timing, the VANOS system helps provide the S54 with its combination of low-end response, mid-range torque, and high-RPM performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs these engines age, the seals inside the VANOS unit can deteriorate from mileage, heat cycles, and years of exposure to engine oil.
