Review on ๐Ÿ”ง VVT Control Solenoid VANOS for 2002-2013 Cooper R50 R52 R55 R56 R57 R60 1.6L N12 N16 N18 N14 Engines - Engine Variable Valve Timing Compatible by Bill Wasson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works like. in engines and engine parts

Works. How. I received several DTCs before installing, these codes have been fixed. So three stars for that. Loses two stars because it causes erratic idling when cold. Idling fluctuates between 700-1100 rpm. After the car warms up and starts, everything works. I tested with another VANOS solenoid valve, OEM works fine regardless of engine temperature. 2011 MCS, R56 with N18 engine.

Pros
  • Replacing Mini Cooper Vanos restores fuel efficiency and returns the variable valve timing system to normal operation
Cons
  • Permanent
