Cleaning BMW VANOS Solenoid // SAVED ME $$$

Today on JD CARS I show you how to clean the VANOS solenoid on a BMW E90. I was driving down the street (close to home luckily) when my 328i suddenly misfired in two cylinders and I lost significant power. I babied the car the remaining half a mile home, and it then stalled out in the driveway. I was worried to say the least. After a quick diagnosis I discovered the VANOS intake solenoid was clogged. After spending minimal time cleaning it, the car started right up! This is a very easy repair, and also a good thing to do if your idle is a little rough.

Make sure you hold on to the seal when you pull the Vanos out or in, mine fell down and took me a while to find it after taking the wheel well and some of the bottom splash guard apart. Magnet won’t get it either.

Its a MUST to clean all ur Vanos when you replace ur serpentine and tensioner belt and pulleys! Cleaning the vanos cured my annoying jerking and unbalanced timing while idling at a stand still. My car warms faster, its very silent and i got full power! No more jerking or shaking at idle when starting my bmw f10 and finally SOLVED my issue. Idles soo smooth and clean! How to cleaned both Vanos. I used 2 wires red & black with small alligator grips and attached them on a 9 Volt battery and hooked them up on both Vanos connection poles. This method while giving power to the Vanos allows it to open and close. This is where you begin to clean the vanos in all hole opening as well as the inside with either a Map Sensor cleaner or a Electronic contact cleaner which cost cheaper. This cleans the Vanos soo clean that it revives them like brand new. Ur bmw will idle smoothly and sound more silent idling perfect because it now adjusts the timing as it was design when new and becomes well balanced in ignition firing! I was blaming my old ignition coils but the problem was the dirty Vanos! Clean them, its a must! Just a 10mm socket to remove them...

But yeah start with cleaning vanos, then go for crankshaft pos sensor, also a bad o2 sensor will cause misfire. Im not a mechanic, im just a guy who drive my e60 with n52 engine for more than 120k miles, and counting. I had a headache with this misfire .. but at the end of the day was 02 sensor, then chankshaft pos sensor, and yes i clean the vanos thanks to you, and it did help me. Thanks dude.

Word to the wise, be REALLY careful to make sure the solenoid is lined up with the screw hole before trying to thread it, otherwise it won't and it'll drop into your engine bay.

@DillonRust 7 жыл бұрын

JD Cars Hey just wanted to give you an update. The problem was getting really bad on my car, so I found the time to clean out the Solenoids. I cleaned both of them using your method, but I didn't have an air compressor so I just used the one at the gas station. Started the car up and the problem was completely fixed! Thanks for posting this video probably saved me $100+ or much more if I had gone to a mechanic. Any idea how often the Solenoids should be cleaned?

@DillonRust 7 жыл бұрын

Ok so I wanted to give a more recent update to help anyone else struggling with the same issue I was having. Within a week after I cleaned the Vanos Solenoids the problem returned. The next thing I tried was replacing the Solenoids, and it helped a little, but didn't fix the issue. Next I replaced the Spark Plugs to brand new ones, and it improved engine performance, but still was bogging out when idle. Finally I found that the air intake was not secured as the plastic pieces on the sides where the screws are supposed to go were broken. So I just zip tied it tightly into the proper place, and all my issues were gone. Funny I could have fixed my original issue for less than a $1 zip tie, but I don't regret the replacement parts for example the spark plugs were almost burnt out, and now my engine is running smooth and fast again.

It was just generic engine degreaser...not sure the brand (it's in my garage). Any engine degreaser should work, and the compressed air is a key component to a good cleaning.

nice car and soundtrack. I got these 2 Vanos codes. 2a87 - exhaust Vanos, mechanism 2a82 - Vanos intake check engine light went on while I was driving but it has turned off since. did you get these 2 codes prior to you doing the cleaning?

@kingchr5 7 жыл бұрын

John Paul Zilvetiz I have those 2 codes myself. I'm gonna try this cleaning method to see if it goes away. Lemme know if it works for you.

My car didn't do that, but it was limp yes. I believe I had the same codes as well. Throughly clean the solenoid and hopefully it should resolve the issue. Good luck!

Hello, I have these fault codes: P1050 and P1062 (= 2A67 and 2A6F). Is it possible that cleaning the solenoids will solve these problems? I have the N46B20B engine. My car was in limp mode. To "solve the problem" I've put it in ignition/turned off about 5 times and it went back to normal operation. I think that the VVT motor is dying, but it's a pricey part so I don't want to replace it until it's 100% that is the issue.

@JDCarsChannel 6 жыл бұрын

I would try clearing the codes, and then clean the vanos solenoids.

The part of re-inserting the VANOS solenoid is confusing. You put the O-ring on a spot where it doesn't want to stay. As you can see on the connector side there is a clean shiny bit - that is where the O-ring should be seated. So the o-ring sits just after the sealing ring near the outside.

What does cleaning the outside of the solenoid that is continually washed with engine oil while the engine is running achieve? I would like to know having removed the solenoid how to test it's operation over the full range of travel and not just spray it with cleaner. Can you post a 'how to test the solenoid is working correctly ' video please?

Does cleaning these make a difference, seems in most cases folks end up just buying new ones. Or merely the fact they have been pulled out dislodges some obstruction and just reinserting would have done the job. What fails inside them? They look simple enough.

@TheFrenchPug 4 жыл бұрын

Changing oil more frequently will prevent a lot of failures until the internal seals finally fail. A few tuning sites say to replace after 70k miles saying the internal seals are shot by then.
