CERMA FOR VANOS SYSTEMS

Cerma STM-3® Vanos is a one-time treatment designed to improve and extend the life of your BMW vanos system. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

• Cerma Vanos Treatment is used AFTER your vehicle has been treated with Cerma STM-3 Engine Treatment.

• If you haven't treated your vehicle yet, select the Cerma Engine Treatment additional option to get the most out of your vanos system.

• The combined Vanos and Engine Treatment price has been discounted for your benefit.

• BMW Vanos Seal Extended Life: If you own a BMW between 1993-2006, your vanos unit is most likely failing due to deteriorating piston seal O-rings made of rubber that dry out in the engine environment. BMW does not provide the vanos seals separately and sells rebuilt vanos units for ~$1500 installed. The rebuilt vanos units are supplied with the same failing rubber O-rings and have been found to fail in as little as 20k miles (32k kilometers) of use.

• Cerma STM-3 Vanos Treatment revitalizes the O-rings and provides an easy-to-apply fix. No need to be without your car while a mechanic replaces the vanos unit, just pour in oil and drive. It's so easy that even a novice can do it!

• Within 100-500 miles, you will notice improved performance, no rattle start-ups, more power, and overall performance gains.

• Vanos Seals Failure Symptoms: The first sign of a failing Vanos unit is rattling at start-up of the engine. More advanced signs are knocking sounds from idle to 2000 rpms, leading to a surging feeling around 1800-2000 rpm, overall loss of torque and power, particularly in the lower RPM range, < 2k, bogging then surging at 2k RPM, uneven power distribution and RPM transition, engine hesitations in the lower RPM range, < 3k, louder idle and intermittent idle RPM hiccups, difficult takeoffs, loss of power and bogging when AC is on, increased fuel consumption, Vanos fault codes, and double vanos cars with the M52TU engine (98/99-00) experiencing cold weather cold start idle jolts and possible stall.

• Cerma Vanos Treatment Benefits: Overall increase in torque and power, particularly in the lower RPM range, < 2k, resolution of bogging then surging at 2k RPM, smooth even distribution of power and RPM transition, resolution of engine hesitations in the lower RPM range, < 2k, quiet stable idle, smooth easy takeoffs, improved performance when AC is on, reduced fuel consumption, resolution of vanos fault codes, and resolution of double vanos M52TU engine (98/99-00) cold weather cold start idle jolts and possible stall.

• Cerma Vanos Treatment is guaranteed to improve vanos performance and extend vanos life!
