Backstory. So since i got my M3 its had this annoying noise at about 1800rpm when accelerating under load. It only happened when the oil temp was over 90c, and only when under load. It wasn’t vanos, because it persisted after i rebuilt that. The car also made a similar noise occasionally on cold start.
Tastes Like Petrol
Racing, back when cars were real cars and drivers were real men. Love this stuff, I was totally born 10 years too late.

The cars. The music. The hairstyles. Fantastic. Spot the car trying to be a Unicorn.
So yeah, seems i made it angry and exceeded the limit for attachments on Part 1. Oh well.
Attended my first British Car Day today and what a show it was. Stunning weather, a great turnout of amazing cars and bumped into some cool people.
So, the parts arrived today, all the way from Germany. Woot.
Since the vanos unit was done, I moved onto the anti-rattle kit.
Right, back with some more Vanos fun!
The bolt looks a lot different to the photos in the previous page now, it’s got a couple of notches cut in it from a chisel but still wont spin.
It’s now packed with JB Weld. Lets see what happens.
Right, so today was also a story of ups and downs.
