Shake, Rattle and DIY Saturday, September 28, 2013 Event planned by Ken Carson & Connie Stried
Are you hearing a rattle in your BMW engine that used to purr smoothly along? Have you ever wished that you could use a lift to work on your car? September's event will deal with both of these questions and toss in a great brunch, too.
We will begin the day by gathering at Dr. Vanos in Round Rock, Texas. Our tour begins at 9:30. Come earlier for Round Rock donuts and a chance to visit with everyone. Check tejaschapter.org for detailed directions. Dr. Vanos' primary business is devoted solely to quieting the rattling of BMW's variable valve timing system, or VANOS, found on BMW motors through 2006 models. Over time, the seals break down and leak, causing the rattling sound, which makes the once-refined BMW motor, well, not so refined, anymore. But Dr. Vanos rebuilds the VANOS using new and upgraded parts, shipping daily to happy customers all over the globe. And Dr. Vanos is in our own Central Texas backyard. Attend the VANOS 101 class that will explain all.	Get Directions More Info
More info	Our second stop will take us to DIY Texas at 11:00. Josh and David rent out work space for those who like to work on their own vehicles. They have multiple lifts for rent, along with tools, jacks, air for pneumatic tools, etc. This will make it easy to change those suspension parts or pull your engine! You can even mount and balance your own tires. Their shop may be a possible site for future tech days, too.
We will then enjoy brunch at PBK Stem 'n Stein in Pflugerville, Texas. Two pricing choices will be offered. One will include food, beverage, tax, and gratuity. The second will also include an alcohol drinks package.	More info
