Solved gearbox warning on my BMW 116i

In December I got a gearbox warning on the dashboard of my BMW 116i, it turned out that this VVT solenoid was defective. The mechanic had to change the bracket where the screw goes, it was a bit wider and longer; but after a few minutes on the grinder he managed to mount it. Started the engine, drove home and no more warnings on my dash screen. I plan to replace the second magnet at my next oil change service.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Almost never

Trust Exhaust & Emissions

I bought these to replace two cheaper units that were making cold idle insanely choppy and causing power spikes at high loads at highway speeds. Maybe it was just my car's reaction (so I won't give them a bad rating), but they fixed the problems right away. If you have a base model Mini r56 N14 without turbo, remove the screw from the intake side by magnetizing the screw, then pull out the solenoid and disconnect the wires. Try not to remove the inlet hose or you will have to reinstall it!

Pros
  • Heavy Duty
Cons
  • Nothing

Save some money best DIY replacement parts

Replaced due to check engine light half power light constantly on in 2011 Cooper Countryman ALL4 S with 82K. Dealer diagnostics showed a weak VANOS solenoid (this item) and cost the job $875! Thanks to google youtube (see video - Solenoid replacement 08 R56 MINI COOPER N12 VANOS) and amazon for this detail. It took me 15m (had to find a suitable #30 torx wrench for the screw, not 10mm) but with a little stirring (there are o-rings and tight quarters) I removed the old part - compared (fitsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some errors
