Review on Dorman 917-241 VVT Solenoid for BMW Models - Engine Variable Valve Timing Solution by Brian Kumar

Revainrating 5 out of 5

PLEASE READ IF YOUR ENGINE CHECK LIGHTS UP! Great parts at a great price and with a lifetime guarantee, BEAUTY!

I bought a used BMW X5 and this is IMPORTANT as many oil change shops can ruin you. The oil filter cover insert may have been accidentally removed at the car's last oil service because they don't know what they are doing! If this insert is not installed, the engine is supplied with unfiltered engine oil, which can clog or damage the VANOS magnets. My dealer told me at least 16 cars had similar problems because they switched to this quick oil change. puts! My original solenoids were clogged and damaged, displaying error code 2A82 VANOS inlet - hard, mechanically stuck, I decided to replace both. .NO MORE ENGINE TESTING!These Solenoids are great value and backed by a lifetime warranty. In comparison, OEM dealers are more expensive and come with a 24-month warranty.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Only available in black
