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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Probably not an acceptable replacement for a car with an N52 engine

Purchased to replace the original vanos solenoid valve. The car gave an intake camshaft trouble code and replaced the intake and exhaust valve solenoids. During the test drive the car does not run smoothly at any speed. Instead, I followed the specified cleaning procedure for the stock solenoids and reinstalled the stock solenoids in the motor. The code has not yet been returned.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Modern
