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. Worn seals can reduce the VANOS system's ability to maintain the hydraulic pressure necessary for accurate camshaft adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon symptoms can include \u003cstrong\u003eVANOS-related fault codes, inconsistent power delivery, reduced low- and mid-range torque, hesitation, poor throttle response, and VANOS performance issues\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStage 3 goes beyond replacing the internal seals by also including the \u003cstrong\u003eOEM VANOS housing gasket and an upgraded VANOS oil supply line\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing you to replace the aging factory oil line while the VANOS system is already being serviced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStage 3 Kit Includes:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 VANOS O-Rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 VANOS Sealing Rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 OEM VANOS Housing Gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Race German Upgraded S54 PTFE VANOS Oil Supply Line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Techflex High-Temperature Fire Sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 MOCAL USA Banjo Fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Custom Aerospace-Grade 6Al-4V Titanium Banjo Bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplicable Crush Washers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything is packaged together to make servicing, resealing, and upgrading your S54 Dual VANOS system easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUpgraded S54 VANOS Oil Supply Line\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the biggest additions to our Stage 3 kit is the \u003cstrong\u003eRace German Upgraded S54 VANOS Oil Supply Line\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe factory oil line is responsible for supplying pressurized engine oil to the S54 VANOS system.
