[@steviem2224]

Thanks Dean good to know learning more and more from your videos much appreciated keep up the good work

[@__weed__]

Interesting that some comments got deleted over the past day.... nevertheless, this was super helpful for me! thought i was going to spend quite a lot but in the end, it was as simple as you explained. Definitely a part that you have to keep an eye out on high mileage VANOS systems

[@AndrewGibson22]

Timely video... E92 N52B25 with 95k on original vanos. Running and idling smoothly but feeling down on power and down on mpg. Thanks!

[@dalisobanda5575]

Are the solenoid on the N52 compatible with those on the M54 engine?

[@youxiyuan3155]

Will 2a82 caused by worn ledge bearing seal? Plastic or metal?

[@angelmedina541]

What fault codes did you get for that fault? Ami, I get p0012 and p2a82 and the 4x4 doesn't work for me either, but I don't get any code from that, only the 4x4 witness on the dashboard. any advice?

[@DigitalDissident]

My work but I took one out to clean it whith brake cleaner while I was doing other work. Is that bad?

[@gail6904]

HELLO DEAN I cannat get any tool to remove the vanos filters to replace on my 2008 BMW 328i sedan..can u offer any advice in simple terms..what tools can i use..i seen other videos but I cant get my torx 40 on screw to remove them my ac wires in the way` THANK U GREAT VIDEOS

[@marwanhage-ibrahim658]

Hi, wondering if you can help. I attempted changing mine one goes in without a problem whilst the other one being stuck halfway and wouldn’t budge . Tried lubricating it all up with oil but still nothing . Any advice on what I could do to smoothly get it in. It Jams at half way twists but doesn’t Do anything then requires a lot of Pulling to yank it out been at it for hours.

[@boost351]

Is there a diagnosis procedure you go through before replacing the vanos solenoids. Apart from the scan tool throwing out the fault codes.

[@juxebeats5439]

Switch the solenoids from intake to exhaust and see if the code changes from i take to exhaust

[@mra4107]

I changed my solenoids, and it didn't solve the problem. I changed the Vanos check valves on the right side of the engine and fixed it! Perhaps you could do a video on that, Dr. Dean? That seems to be a highly overlooked and cheap component to replace and solve ppl's problems.

[@CorbinWilliams]

He’s actually made many videos on the check valves, for example this linked video he says “If you’ve replaced your vanos solenoids and still have the check engine light, you likely need to clean your check valves..” Starts around 13 minute mark: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3eYi2ikiLmFbdU

[@fitzyBarnett]

What could cause my e46 to be smoking white smoke? It's a 2001 316i

[@tyriebarnes6164]

Can you give us the link for the genuine bmw ones?

[@russiandrivers9986]

I changed the solenoid seals on my N46 engine and since then I've got codes p0012 and p0015 (over reatarded intake and exhaust) and the car idles roughly and stalls when I slow down. I don't know what I did wrong because the solenoids were working fine before.

[@oskjan1]

Accidentally swapped the connectors?

[@ABWSKITCHEN]

My 328i has 270K miles and I haven't replace these parts. I only buy either BMW or Bosch parts on my car.

[@AddictiveCinemaHD]

Do you have to code them in after installing? Or you just replace the old ones and you're good to go?

[@tylervetter5364]

Curious on this as well

[@steveread7710]

I have bmw 2004 2.5 petrol . I can't find solonoids do u know what side all videos show front of car can't see it

[@mickclarke4749]

I have an E85 Z4 N46 2.0 and the EML light comes on occasionally after the car is stood overnight. I get the codes P1050 and P1062, I have to drive in limp mode for around 10 mins before the codes will clear properly. Could this be the solenoids?

[@mickclarke4749]

Turned out to be the valvetronic motor in the end, all fixed

[@jaymatify]

Hi doc can you help me my e60 530d got gas put in the tank i chang the injectors but i am getting a hard start and a ruf idal

[@LvlupJinx]

My bmw 535i 08 automatic. The shifter clicks back to P when I try to put it into drive now and I have no idea why.

[@alexjrtony350]

Is it ok to buy pierburg or do you have to go with oem?

[@BMWDoctor]

You can use pierburg or febi ones I don’t think it will matter as they are both good brands. I only go full bmw ones because I know I won’t have any issues guaranteed. But you don’t have too it all depends on you and how you want to maintain your car.

[@Jean-Paul_1984]

Some people say Pierburg is better than the BMW ones. In one of my cars I used OEM BMW, another car Pierburg. Absolutely no difference noticed

[@piomo63]

👍🙏

[@nunofarinha5457]

Hi, do you clean (or replace) the vanos solenoids filters that are on the side of the engine as well?

[@BMWDoctor]

Replace I do not clean nothing only replace

[@luisrobles2401]

Hello Dean I have a 2013 BMW X1 Sdrive 28i and I have a no crank no start situation. I got a code p10f5 can you please help me out man.

[@markag187]

💯👌✌️

[@salamshamo3772]

How much did they coast each

[@BMWDoctor]

Only £150 each so not that bad really I think it’s cheap for bmw parts much cheaper then my Porsche running these BMWs is like running a Ford for me

[@salamshamo3772]

@@BMWDoctor thank you , where did you buy it from .

[@BMWDoctor]

BMW DIRECT 😅

[@salamshamo3772]

[@mikiegarcia5876]

P0015 camshaft over retarded? Is this the Vanos? Also does it make a sound when bad?

[@marsden2740]

Top man👍

[@arnolduk123]

Do you really mean "Replacing your Vanos Solenoids Will Make Your BMWS Vanos Last Forever !!" 😄 Regular changing your oil would make it last much longer, I don't think there is any point replacing something that isn't broken. Those solenoids are pretty much bullet proof and clog up with mucky oil more than anything. A quick spray with Brake or WD cleaner means you don't need to remortgage and buy new ones.

[@BMWDoctor]

I didn’t remortgage for nothing and if your saying about a remortgage for new ones you must be very cheap yourself. As new ones from bmw direct are around £300 so how is that a mortgage ? That’s like cheap change luckily for me I Got them on trade so for me the costs are low very low. And I replace all parts that ain’t broken that’s why I don’t have problems as I don’t wait for a problem to arise just to change it then. This engine is spotless with full history so that’s why the others one was fine, but I’m OCD and I have the money to put to the car so not a issue for me

[@arnolduk123]

@@BMWDoctor Not having a dig at you, only saying that £300 is not something I want to throw at my car on the whim that it might fail. The Vanos has a fail safe mode anyway and In my experience whenever I change anything something else decides to fail, so you'd be chucking parts at non-stop. Something new is as likely to fail as something old. The old saying "if it aint broke dont fix it" is usually a smart thing to do. BTW Dean, I like most of your videos and I'm suscribed to and Nathan's channels.

[@BMWDoctor]

No mate it’s fine not even a problem. Just I know what you mean that’s why they need overhauling as you know you can’t just replace one thing and leave it on bmw as then everything starts to fail! That’s why I get it all done in one go and finish it so I can drive it peacefully 😅

[@arnolduk123]

@@BMWDoctor You got alot of spare time on your hands then My M54B30 has rinsed me of quite a few quid over the last 3 years, still worth the effort for a nice running motor.

[@BMWDoctor]

I have indeed my friend boredom lol thats why I do these car's otherwise i would be twiddling my fingers. I love to invest money into car's don't ask me why I'm just OCD MY WIFE HATES IT !! I see a poorly looked after bmw and I want it as I know it needs money and I want to restore it it also keeps me busy and I'm my workshop everyday for 11hours daily so its a win win for me. but bear in mind I don't get rid of any of them as I know nobody will look after them the way I do so thats why I just keep them once I'm finished as I don't need the money. unless someone comes to me and says they will look after it the way I do, then I wont be selling it and I know nobody can do that. same thing with my Porsche I bought it as I know it needed a lot of work and people don't want to invest that money into any car these days I hate people like that as I love people who put every penny into the cars :) its rare to find but I know there is my people out there I put 4k into my Porsche doing everything now it sits in my garage looking pretty :) but find me another Porsche 987 that you can just jump in and drive and not have to worry again you cant same with bmw all my bmws I can just jump in and drive and not have to worry about anything breaking but it does get boring after a while I need to look for other cars now man

[@aombarbor]

Pretty cheap "Look up part $250before tax but i guess ima pull a trigger can't cheap out on this one

[@Bimmerfiend]

That’s not a genuine BMW part 😅 Good instructions though!
