Yellow Engine light on I have codes now please help

Don't bother cleaning the solenoids just replace them. £155 from cotswold. About a 30 min job.

Clear the codes and see if the heater one comes back.

By the way the vanos code is what will have turned your eml on.

I had them come on and cleaned them with abit of petrol and they've been fine since (probs til tomoz now)

Gunna try and clean them as I'm skint after xmas...

Any guides or pictures would be good

Thanks guys

You can clean them and swap them. Just prepare you self to change them in the future

To get them out, undo the bolts that hold the air intake scoop on at the front. Slide the scoop off the airbox. They are at the front of the engine right underneath the scoop.

There's a good comprehensive video on YouTube you can follow of you get stuck. Just search for n52 vanos solenoids replacement

Silly question but are there any moving parts which I will clean or is it just in one position until a current is passed through ??

Also would the eml go off or will I need to clear it

Thanks

No moving parts. Find the part number of it and Google it. You'll see what the look like. Soak in a cleaner of some kind.

You'll need to clear the codes.

Also might be worth resetting the adaptions too. You should notice a good improvement in throttle response, smoother running and more go go from low down.

11367585425. You need two of those.

Head over to real OEM and use the last 7 digits of your VIN to find parts. It's a good site to be familiar with.

Cool

whats the real OEM site ?
