M62tu Info:
The BMW M62tu 4.4l V8 engine was used in several BMW models including the 540i, 740i and X5, as well as the 2002-2006 Range Rover.
This engine has a couple of inherent problems that every owner will eventually run into, with the Vanos system being the most common.
The main seal and O-ring inside the Vanos gear will gradually break down over time until the Vanos can no longer hold the required oil pressure inside the gear.
This causes poor performance, rough idle when cold, and most of them will rattle like a diesel truck at idle.
Rebuilding the Vanos units with new seals and O-rings will instantly provide better performance as well as quieting the notorious rattling noise.
