VANOS cap screw connection
E36/S50 B32
Situation:
Due to the unfavourable settling characteristics of the VANOS cap screw connection (exhaust-side solenoid valves), vibration fractures can occur in isolated cases on the screws.
Effect:
The VANOS cap can then lift off as a result of the pressure load of the solenoid valves. Result: sudden heavy oil loss.
Affected
vehicles:
E36 S50 B32 (M3 ECE, Z3 M roadster/coupé ECE)
Manufacturing period: as per list of vehicle identification numbers
(start of series production until October 1999)
