Btw I don't know why i kept saying "screws" when all I'm dealing with is bolts 🥴😂

It’s 04/27/2024 and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this video. Thank you, you saved me money and kept me sane through out the process

I like the way you do the job step by step and the way you explained, continue to do that please.

Great video! Goes in depth and actually gives torque specs too.

Merci bien pour ta belle vidéo elle m'a rendu très service et m'a permis de faire l'ouvrage sans problème

Huge help, thanks for the video!

Excellent video. Thank you very much!

Awesome video, right to the point, THANKS!!!

I have the same model/year. I enjoyed watching this video - thanks man. Pretty involved, but nothing I can't do and I also have ista+. Hopefully i don't have to do this anytime soon though.

thank you man! this was very helpfull!

Amazing video🔥

Hey awesome video, I'm still waiting on my replacement valvetronic piece but I have no idea what tools I'll be needing, any chance you have a list of some sort of eveyrthing I'll need when replacing the the valvetronic motor? Thanks in advance

Fantastic video, everything understandable, giving torque specs, telling hidden things to be careful about. And all the tips. Instant sub and follow my G.

Very helpful video thanks brother you make for us video

Good stuff man.

great video, one hint to make it simpler: you only need to remove the front bucket, the actuator comes out with the back bucket in place. Also you only need to remove the back injector to remove each bucket so in this case to do the whole job you only need to remove one injector (#2 cylinder injector) cheers!

Great Video!!

Great video, you have parts numbers off everything you replaced also gaskets

I replaced the shaft with the valvetronic motor. I preformed the learn/run in procedure. I now have miss fire fault with air mass. Seems as if the end stops didn't get learned. Also the miss fire changes cylinders. Swapped injectors and programmed which cylinder. New spark plugs and relocated coils. Promedantly cylinder 6 is first on the miss fire list.

Best video 👍🏽

Great video thanks

Thank you for this video! I am going to replace mine in a few days. Can you guide me where to get a working copy of ISTA+? The ones that I found fail to install :(

Great vid. I’m debating if i should do this repair or not. Currently I get this code 133E10. It looks fairly simple but other than the injector tools the only other problem is that I do not have ISTA

Great video!! Very helpful! Didn't you have to use an o-ring compressor tool to get the fuel injectors back in? Also is the valve cover bolt loosening pattern the same as the re-install to pattern?

Hey just finished the install flawless. Which version of ista+ are you running? Think i have old v3.53 and does not have “start up valvetronic”.

Hello, this is a amazing job! congratulations! My BMW 135 E82 (N55 Engine) have this error code. 002DD8 Valvetronic-Actuator, Position Sensor: Signal Implausible. For solver this, is necesary valvetronic's replacement? Thanks for you help

Fantastic video. I don't have any of the scan tools, so I was planning to have my local shop do the reprogramming for the VANOS motor and the injectors (I had to replace mine). Does anyone know if the car will start and drive with new injectors or will I need to have it towed to the shop?

Thanks for the great video! Can you please guide me where to get ista from and how to install it? I have been looking online for ages and not much useful info

There appears to be no audio during what looks like the most important part of the job...... turning the camshaft, lol. Did we miss any verbal instructions during that process? What is the wrench for if you are turning it with the allen tool?

You left the shaft at the maximum position at 21:28 mins, I seen others bring it down to the stopper. Mine was at the same position as yours when I started but I'm not sure if it goes back that way or if it has to be down so that the shaft hits the stopper putting it in the reverse way as yours. Can you let me know please which way is correct.

Hello Sahib, Thank you for video. Really love it. I have bad motor on VALVETRONIC MOTOR on my customer car, what if I disable (if I can) VALVETRONIC MOTOR , would there be any issue? will I get engine light on? Thank you very much!!!

Hello. When your Val Tronic was going out, did you have a small knocking from the engine when sitting in the driver seat? How exactly is the Val Tronic causing this issue?

hello, I did exactly as you did with my car on the other hand I just put a second-hand servomotor buy on a site I replaced the servomotor but when I put everything back together when I try to adapt with my suitcase it blocks it tells me that the motor is not at 0 or the servomotor has gone into degraded mode

Nice video brother... where did you get your ista? I see a lot of people having troble getting a proper copy. Would you happen to have a link? Thanks!

exellent

Hey man I need your input I have a 2011 bmw 335 and I installed the new valvetronic position sensor like in your vid and I’m using ista+ and I’m using the DCAN cable to usb well K+D and it’s not working I set it to usb/serial interface but nothing do you know what I need to do or if I need the Ethernet to obd or something thanks

Hi hale how are you I’ve had my car come up with a drivetrain malfunction and all power isn’t available, then I had the valvetronic motor changed by a mechanic but once I got home I had the same code come up again, I called him up and he didn’t cycle the new valvetronic motor so I done it at home, it passed all cycles. Then I drove the car right after that and the code comes up again. After that the code still comes up, does that mean the esscentric shaft needs changing?

Thank from France

Really need the tourqe spec on the actuator seal. Feels like it striped out at 7nm and i dont want to keep going unless i know the spec

🤔🤔 did you replace any of the fuel injector gaskets??

@builds by sahib Hey man great video. I’m going to have to do this when the parts come in. Got some questions… those “gaskets” that you took from underneath the two aluminum blocks that sit on top of the valvetronic actuator, do they need to be replaced? Does the actuator come with that black gasket you pressed into the top of it?

I’m here because i have to do this job on my 535i f10 ,definitely not doing this job I’ll go too my mechanic but i like videos like this

getting a 2dd6 prior to repair and post repair (took a few drive cycles to come on and now wont clear at all) part is aftermarket(didnt buy it) harness integrity looks all good checked everything. Did i get a doa part? any one else with this issue?

What a class video bro. Very in depth and informative. I have one question! (Which I think was the only thing not covered!!) When youre re-installing the injectors, it looked like you just dropped them back in position and used the bracket to push them down in to seat when you tightened the bracket up.. is that correct?

Thanks, thoughtful video. Did you change out the rubber seals on the injector when you got them out?

So from 15:39 till 19:48 there is no sound? Seems to mee that thats the most important part to give tips or guidelines.. love the rest of the video great en good helpfull instructions

Just a tip put a papertowl in the hole so the bolt wont go down the injector hole for peace of mind.

Hey I have replaced my engine in the 2011 bmw 335i xdrive but now am getting a code for the valve tronic motor saying it's deactivated can you tell me what can I do. To activate it back.

Dumb question for ya.. I’ve only ever removed these valvetronic motors and put the old ones back in for service. Did this job, replaced the motor, and by mistake did the valvetronic limit relearn instead of valvetronic start up. How bad of a mistake was that? Keep getting codes immediately now and the motor sounds horrible when it’s adjusting

I baught a 2011 bmw 116i with the N13 engine, the Valvetronick is on the side almost to the back of the engine When I got it the person told me it shuts down on them and when we scan it I got the Vavetronick code so I baught a new valvertronic moto and just take out the old one and put back the new one it was tight to get in but use an aulinkey at the back of it to spin it in and tighten the bolts every time in goes in a little. When we got it all the way in, we try to start it and it never starts just turn over so we put an autel scanner on it and whenever we try to relearn it, it come to a part that it says voltage low or not reach something like that but we get the car to start and it runs a little and start to vibrate and have a little sound like it wants to back fire if that make sense, then shut back down about 4 times so I am trying to find out if there is a relay or fuse or even ECU problem, Please let me know what you think? I check all fuse in the engen area I pull out the box under the glove compartment nex to the door and check it for burn or broken fuse also in the trunk nex to the battery and I pull out the side peace in the trunk and check those fuse as well but all looks good to me, the phues I check with a tester and I ask a electrician to test the black regulator that is in the engine bay nex to the inches on the car bonnet and he say it was working, also take out that little black box at the front of the engine that you have to cut open to check fuse and they all good as well

Can I use the mhd wireless adapter to Bluetooth to the computer or it has to be a enet cable?

my servomotor made a clattering sound when unlock the doors. I replaced it and did not do the learn. Bunch of lights turned on, but they disappeared after few drive cycles. I guess, it learned by itself.

How do you know when to replace the valvetronic motor ? Drivetrain malfunction?

About to do this job, getting code 135704 on MHD reading Valvetronic system: warning threshold value, feedback control deviation exceeded. Rough idle on cold start and it’s been losing power on the way to work about 7 minutes into my drive. Will go back to normal once I pull over and restart the car. 2013 x3 Will be doing this replacement ASAP, thanks for the video!

Nice job on the video, but there appears to be a ton of buildup on the springs from what appears to be overextended oil drain intervals, or it is just the camera angles?

I see you listed code 133E10 as part of your diagnoses. What symptoms did you get? Right now my car goes into drivetrain malfunction and the codes I have are related to the valvetronic as well. I'm getting the clicking / rattling noise when I open and close my door.

Great video. Where did you get the actuator from ?

Hi, thanks for the video. I've been trying to do the relearn procedure on my E91 with the N55 engine and, before the procedure starts, I am getting the error "Fault: Voltage supply". Any idea why? Or what voltage supply is it referring to? The car was on a wall jumper and had a constant 13.9 volts as shown by the DME. Thanks! P.S. For extra context, I am trying to fix an "2DCF Valvetronic system: No movement detected" error. Car runs fine, pulls fine, gets good gas millage and just has this error there that is always current and can not be deleted. Actuator was changed, wiring was checked, eccentric shaft looked good, no visual damage and moved freely.

12:45 Good tip!

Did your car prevent it from starting like a crank no start?

hello very good video could you detail your tools to remove the injectors I find it very useful

I am getting P1017 and P10E2 on my 2016 n55 w 39k miles. Which code did you get to make you determine it was the eccentric actuator motor? How about the eccentric sensor? Thanks for filming this clearly. Much better than the few i saw prior. Mine has zero clicking noise when unlock car. Also, did you tried to use ista+ to relearn it before you replaced the actuator motor? Thanks for your help

I am about to do an N47 timing chain and om642 beariings

did you have to drain the oil before doin this?

Good job, next stop change the pulley ;) this is probably due on mine, as well

Hey man, I just did this and seemed smooth until I got to the start up procedure and right when the cycle should be counted ista+ says my engine is not running, but it clearly was... The only other fault was a steering angle sensor, do you by any chance know how to fix this?

Hey man, did you had any codes? Any symptoms?

Hey I have a question where do you buy the ista + ?

Hey where did you do to Change this

How common is the valve tronic shaft known to fail

Love this video man. Very very helpful! I just replaced mine on my ‘13 X3 335ix. However, once I went to startup valvetronic procedure. It faulted out within first 4 mins. of running the procedure. Engine sounds great when we started it up when asked by computer. We’re using a snap on solus legend. Curious your thoughts why it faults out on doing the test. Thanks man.

What would happen if you don’t put the Eccentric shaft back to the open position before you complete the job? I recently had this job done and I’m experiencing issues. Any help would be appreciated.

where do you get the ISTA program on the laptop

What was the cause to changing it out??

What happened to the sound at 16min mark 😢

Can any scanner reprogram it?

Es posible que por eso no prenda el bmw?

Okay how much is Insta+ and the cable? 🤷‍♂️

hi mate ... i have a f20 M135i with the same engine .... what is the brand of the Valetronic

Does it only reset with ISTA+? Or can I reset with using Protool app from the phone?

How long did this take you to do from start to finish ? 2 hours would you say ?

Just a heads up the VDO part u passed up on for this is the oe manufacturer of this part, you just paid more for the bmw stamp

I have a F10 N55, when I unlock the car, I hear a rattle/ ratchet sound coming from the engine. No error codes/ check engine light. Battery was low, in winter, but now , I dont see the battery low warning anymore. Car starts right up. Any ideas what the issue could be?

What was your symptoms?

Would this give an accelerator pedal signal intensity error if servomotor was defective? As well as valvetronic servo motor error and absolute pressure sensor? Thanks

My shop I took my to is trying to tell me they also have to replace the Valve Cover, Eccentric Shaft,Shaft Bearings, Breather Tube and Spark Plug Seals. They did not tear vehicle apart. They say they always replaces these parts. Is this legit or a money grab?

Hi my name is Jack I have 2011 BMW 335 and 55 engine I change Volvo tronic motor I need a program can you do it for me please I pay you thank you

so i, uh, dropped the bottom bolt to the servomotor and heard it drop down somewhere on top of the cylinder head. i didnt see it when it happened. ive been fishing with a mganet and a boroscope for two days now and cant find it. ny idea where it could have gone? i wish i could pull that cam ledge off without having to lock in the cams or needing a timing kit

Is ista+ free

did you replace the Gasket under the injector pan if so do you have a part#

Address please I need some work to do my car

Where did you get the software? I need it please!

Fyi VDO Is OEM

your sound disappears at about 15:40
