Egad, I appreciate the advice on secondary screw ups like "85% of the time, the timing is wrong, after work..."; i.e., extraordinary attention to detail is required. And the tip about Chinese sensor not having the same form factor as OEM, with resultant perpetual E0369 code... greatly appreciated. Daughter's M54 engine has very rough cold idle, and E0369 code appears after car warms up completely. You have tied these two symptoms together! Thanks.

[@unknowngrower3103]

HEY GUYS I HAD A P0014 and the Exhaust side camshaft sensor fixed it!! THANK YOU NATHAN YOU ROCK!!

[@miguelgarcia5773]

Great video, been subscribed since the longest. P0015, cleaned the solenoids and boom back and running like a champ. 08 535xi N54.

[@Jean-Paul_1984]

Like your video's, thanks! Just one quick remark: I ordered a new exhaust cam sensor this week at the BMW dealer and it DOESN'T have the step the old one has. So not only the cheap 'fake' ones don't have this step you are talking about. Also the newer (updated) BMW one's don't have this step anymore. I pulled a 12.1999 sensor from my M52tu. No symptoms I thought, just a code on the BMW scanner. Now replaced and code cleared, the car has much more power in the lower RPM range though.

[@jerrollscott6600]

Thank you bro 👍

[@greentom]

thanks for the video. my car (BMW 1 series, N45 Engine) shows the following codes: P0011 intake side - timing too early - bank 1 - front/left P0014 exhaust side - timing too early - bank1 - back/right no check engine light but the car runs very very rough. fresh out of the independent workshop. the car got a new timing chain. so i guess it's the scenario you mentioned at the end of your video.

[@dizzy7008]

Hey Nathan good video, thanks for the info. I noticed that you have modified the piping arrangement for your ccv. I just replaced my ccv with cold weather unit and replaced all of the hoses as well. a terribly complicated design compared to the old pvc valves you used to see stuck in the top of rocker covers. anyways I know that its going to fail again at some point and make that mayonaise mess in the engine and not vent the crankcase properly and allow the pressure to build until oil is pissing past any gasket it can find. did your ccv mode work? can you share what you did? thanks very much John

[@jacobkugler3167]

How do you change that wiring harness for that sensor? I’ve changed it twice and it runs fine for about 24 hours then throws the code and runs rough again. Only thing I can think of would be the harness.

[@n8n8n8n]

First of all, you have to unscrew the fan, and this is one of the hardest thing, at least in my case (EU M54B25).

[@the46guide94]

That’s only if your car has a mechanical fan. And yes they are a pain in the ass to remove because you need a special spanner wrench/ water pump holding tool that locks onto two bolts of the water pump to hold it in place from spinning while you simultaneously twist the nut for the fan *counter* clock wise. Not much room in there to fit a spanner wrench plus the wrench for the fan one i front of another.

[@kamalhaynes]

Hi i recently changed my camshaft sensor and after changing got a code saying the sensor is too advanced, then right after started to get misfiring codes and fuel too rich followed by fuel mix too lean. Also to note the too advance code went away but the other codes remained along with misfiring fuel cut in cylinder 4,5,6 which caused the check engine light to come on for the first time since owning the car.. Also to note once reusing the old non-working camshaft sensor the check engine light went off and all the above codes went away with just the camshaft position sensor code present.

[@erics8595]

To me, sounds like you didn't use OEM BMW. The only one I might bend to is maybe Siemens VDO but frankly when it comes to these sensors, just spend the money.

[@vvtheonevv4007]

kamal haynes did u get shaking or vibrations ?

[@johnsugrue8629]

Cluster works only from a cold start then I lose rmp,mpg,digital reading

[@davidpotter1975]

Will this sensor cause my car to not start?

[@malp6280]

ook! whats your opinion on the E60 520D & 523I/D engines as I'm planning on upgrading to a later bmw! the 2 & 2.5 seem tempting... also thinking on jumping from petrol to the black magic fuel

[@nicosmith9312]

Hey Nathan im having issues with my 2002 e46 325xi im having rough idlles im not sure about the codes but i have replaced all my vaccuum lines put new head valve cover gasket. New coils brand new pcv/ccv system and did an oil change i have no idea why my idle is so strong and the vibration is a killer too is there any advice you can give me for this issue it would really help man thanks....

[@erronkulabonish9959]

Did you figure this out? I’m having this same problem right now. I’ve replaced so many different things and still have it

[@raidfyb3806]

I have a bmw 2003 330ci would this be the same process ?

[@Physiqz]

Just a heads up if anyone is doing the manual+aux to electric fan swap you can get one from FCP euro and price match it with geek parts. $195 for a lifetime electric fan!

[@tonyrunyon375]

Or the the option could be the ccv delete with no catch can and to.much vaccum and a resulting filthy disa and intake!

[@sarahminifie8592]

I get the p0014 on every start. However if I comprrssion start the car... car rolling pop the clutch no code???? How can my timing be tight when it’s comp start

[@granddeath]

I have a small evaporative system leak. What can I check?

[@jamaalbey6306]

Nathan what about a P1353 code on 02 325xi 2.5 how do I fix this car misfires and fuel cut out on cylinder 6

[@jonjomcquillan934]

Iv got a e60 but it's over due a service and my check engine came on just as I started gettin a rough idle the codes say I need spark plugs my uncle whos a mechanic think it's the spark plugs that need change do you think the service will solve the problem

[@Dougarony]

My question is: would ether the exhaust or Intake side going bad cause the car to stall & not restart Anyone? Thanks much. 2002 325i

[@jessebernard3434]

Great video Nathan, well explained. I have an 02 325i e46 BMW. Am getting a code P0015, (vanos exhaust camshaft ) jammed or tight. I have changed the cam position sensor and code is still there. What else can I check for.

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

Jesse Bernard I would remove the vanos and see if there is some thing stuck in it, if you have not done the vanos seals do that while you are in there

[@ganstabw2751]

Did you manage to solve the problem?

[@isrealperez9069]

M54 bmw code 15 (Activation, VANOS solenoid valve, inlet) what is this

Hi friend I have p0014 on my e53 do you recommend to chenge exhaust camshaft sensor? Also have p0011

[@ThomasAlvarado-jp9qt]

How did you solve it? I have the same problem and I couldn't find the solution :(

[@thapeloramarumo9200]

Hi Nathan. My e46 1999 320i it gives me the engine throttle error can I clean it or I just have to replace it. Budget is low. Secondly it misfires on cylinder 4 we have changed the coil and the plug but still misfires. Please help

[@ryandelacruz2937]

2001 bmw 325i Turns on perfectly fine SES light p0014 Symptoms: idle is slight higher than how it was before . It’s at like 800rpm And when i floor it , it’s not as fast. Is it the exhaust cam sensor? Please help

[@carmenes5571]

Ryan De la cruz vanos

[@ryandelacruz2937]

Carmen Es Vanos solenoid, exhaust camshaft sensor, or seals?

[@berlyganteng84]

Yes, thats the symptom.

[@CrazyOneToo]

I have a 1999 328i with a M52TU engine. I have NO engine codes and no check engine light. When its colder outside (40ish) at first startup of the day it idles up and down or stumbles and (sometimes) dies. After a restart it (usually) stays running and then after its warmed up it runs fine with no other issues. No cracks in the intake boot. I have removed and cleaned the ICV and yesterday replaced the camshaft position sensor exhaust side but no noticeable change. I saw in one of your videos you talked about this issue and the CPS fixed it. Maybe I should have changed the intake one first?

[@ariari5538]

Same problem with same car, idle is going up and down in ler when i stop, car is shaking a little bit and sometimes when driving after i put in neutral the idle just drop down and car shut off. Acceleration is weak also. Did you solve your problem if you do how. Tnx

[@urosb82]

I got a problem with my 01 530i, it has low power bellow 3k and exhaust vanos faults. I replaced solenoid, did Vanos seals, PCV and still no results. Only thing that has worked is when I blip the throttle on startup that very second engine starts it all works fine and I got tons of power from low end! Could it be faulty camshaft sensor that throws no faults?? Thanks!

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

Sounds like it, either crank sensor or cam sensor

[@alexswiger2964]

you wouldnt now where i could find a drive shaft transmisson and shifting assembly and transmission crossmember for 99 e46 323i

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

Sorry i do not have any parts e46's right now only e39

[@havenotrust6595]

Yo I have had a ongoing problem for months the car goes into limp if I floor it something I've noticed it has some hesitation on low rpm last time I went into limp I scanned the car and code p0015 B camshaft Position- timing over- retarded bank 1 came up. I've seen a lot say replace the vanos solenoid but then seen that it could be the sensor which is it more likely to be?

[@yaritzamakarennasandovalva4484]

good video! but a question! I have this code (p0011 A camshaft position - timing over-advanced system performance or bank 1) that do you think could be the problem? the camshaft position sensor or vanos system problem?

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

+yaritza makarenna sandoval valdebenito more than likely the engine is out of time

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

What year 740? could be spark lugs or coil packs, if its a pre 99 m62 then it could be the icv needs to be cleaned

[@carslover3509]

its 95 and im grateful for Response

[@carslover3509]

and ihave white head spark plugs in passenger side bank ?

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

+amjad amj ok so clean the Icv then check the throttle body boot for rips, also pop off the ccv on the rear of the intake and inspect the diaphragm for rips

[@carslover3509]

thanks friend

So my car keeps misfiring on cylinder 3 and 5 after I did a clutch job when I first started it. It ran fine then it started missfiring do you know what it could be?

[@aaronhanks5002]

Not related to your clutch... more than likely you have two bad coils.

[@ZhoumobBeatsMedia]

Does this ever leak oil ?

p1397 should be this same sensor i believe?

Yes it is and im sure there is some other codes that come down to the same issue
