The solenoid controls the oil flow that moves the camshaft adjuster, so the engine can change its valve timing as speed and load change. Easy Life Markets sells it as a single solenoid valve for owners and workshops fixing VANOS faults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/VANOS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eVANOS\u003c\/a\u003e is BMW's name for its \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Variable_valve_timing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003evariable valve timing\u003c\/a\u003e system. The solenoid valves are small, but they do a lot of work, and dirt in the oil or worn internal seals can make them stick.

Its internal passages and fine screens are very small, so sludge or debris in the oil can block them or make the plunger stick. Over time, heat cycles also wear the internal seals and the electrical coil. Long oil change intervals, low oil level and the wrong oil specification all increase the chance of a sticking solenoid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome owners try cleaning the old solenoid first. That can help if the problem is only dirt, but if the coil or seals are worn, a replacement is the more reliable fix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIntake and Exhaust Solenoids\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn engines with double VANOS, there is one solenoid for the intake camshaft and one for the exhaust camshaft. The fault code usually tells you which side the problem is on. If both solenoids are original and the engine has high mileage, replacing both together can save a second job later. In that case, order two of this item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Solenoid Is For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis valve suits BMW owners who carry out their own repairs, independent workshops that work on BMWs, and anyone chasing VANOS fault codes or rough running on a 1, 3 or 5 Series with a matching solenoid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this sold as one valve or two?\u003c\/strong\u003e One valve.
