Just did this. This video is pure gold. Some notes for people who may have similar issues I had. The white plastic-teflon ring on pressure restrictor by the small O-ring already has a cross section in it. Don’t be terrified like I was that I cracked it. For the magnets part, I had an easier time opening and closing the valves by putting magnets on the tip of the solenoid pegs instead of down below next to them. Awesome video. Thanks for making it.
As far as diagnosing a problem and diy's it doesn't get any better than this
thanks Austin!
Great vid! I like that it is all work (instruction) and no play. I don't have an e46 but I plan to get one. I like to know what I'm getting into and I've heard a lot of horror stories about the vanos.
This lad makes really good DIY videos- 10/10
Thank you James
@@ShopLifeTV hey dude. Can you please look at my comment and offer help? Ive been waiting for your reply for almost 2 weeks and nothing.
Please help man...
Great video bro! Very detailed and the camera is always right where it needs to be and you explain each step of the process in detail. Someone could watch this and do this if they had never worked on a car before cause this was done so well. I'm sure besides myself everybody appreciates you doin this video. Thank you for this and again amazing job on the details!
Love all the S54/E46 M3 videos!
Thanks! I love making them as well. More vanos upgrades/maintenance videos are currently being edited!
Quality USEFUL videos Sir. Thank you. (15yr. 330 owner and E-92 M3 for yr. and hopefully a longtime)
Thank you! Glad I could help
Thanks bud, instruction were so easy to follow, car drives good now
Another great DIY guys, as usual...
Thank you for always watching our videos!
This video is awesome! I will have to this once I get the parts in. Thank you so much for the video!
Thank you so much for this
Thank you so much for the detailed video. I ordered my sensor through Beisan Systems yesterday. Hoping this cures my issue.
I just followed this video. Thank you so much for such a great detailed video. Everything worked as described and the Beisan Systems you mentioned was easy to replace.
Wow that magnet thing is so smart .
Amazing
I did my m3s vanos overhaul but I'll give ya a view. Great videos 👍👍
Thanks, we will be posting a few more videos going through the full process of a Vanos overhaul and preventative upgrades (bolts, oil pump disk, hubs, seals, rattle kit)
This video was great help me do my S54 so thanks for that 👏🏻
If I'm looking to keep it, when should I look to change the coolant and brake fluid in a 2005 E46 manual w/ around 7800 miles? I've had it for around two year now, but I barely drive it. Thanks for the great videos; love your content!
I had VANOS codes so I cleaned my solenoid pack.. like you did.. Now it's coming up as Misfires .. Codes.
P-0301
P-120D
P-0128
P-1341
P-0302
P-0300
P-0301 again
P-0012
P-0010
Do you think my VANOS I completely gone?..
What about starting the 2006 E46 M3 ... What if that little metal horseshoe Clip breaking off and falling into the Head..
very explicit, top job
Thanks Emiliano!
you're the best!
Thanks Jason!
Hey if we clean the Solenoids if they are not too bad then can we not just put that one back in?
Solenoids should be cleaned as shown in the video. The solenoid pack (black box) fails internally and can give you fault codes as well in which case you should replace with a new or refurbished unit
@@ShopLifeTV thanks for the tips My brother
@@ShopLifeTV just ordered that pack gonna try this w my buddy 👍🏼
Love this video, Thank you
Could the vanos seals be bad without throwing any codes? Just thinking if it’s worth changing out the seals as I’m quite sure they’ve never been done on mine.
Thank you - followed your instructions step by step this morning on My E46 - no part’s replaced - solenoids were barely clicking when I started - super smooth when I was done - SES light went out within a mile and car is idling smoother than ever! Keep up the great work! Love the fact that you call out the wrench and Allen key sizes make following along much easier - Liked and subscribed!
Update: SES has returned - just purchased the Beisan systems refurbished solenoid coil pack & new seals....fingers crossed. Getting intermittent error codes, sometimes P0012, P0015, other times P0013, P0014, so its moving from bank A to bank B and back again, light comes on for a few days and goes off for a few days....any suggestions if this returns again? Camshaft position sensor?
Did you ever solve having similar issue and replaced my sensors and cleaned solenoids might do this next getting p0012 14 and 15 randomly
I just recently replaced mine after watching your video! But unfortunately my car didn’t turn on , my codes were still sitting at p0011 and p0012. Any type of help would be great ! Could it be sensors as well?
Hi this question isn't related to this video.but to the door lock fix actuator video, is it best practice when both door lock fail to replace both on coupe,GM5 module was tested ok for working.central locking not working with drivers side right (uk),replaced.also center console locking for doors not working.thanks.cool BMW repair video's.
Great vid, very helpful
thank you for watching!
Is it necessary to remove the engine cover and valve cover gasket to clean the solenoid pack? Doesn’t look like it but was just wondering if there was a reason.
Can you take it out and clean it and put it back in without replacing the solenoid? Would the O rings still be alright to use that already on it if it is? I've been lookin for an answer for this and can't find one and really need to know as quickly as possible plz. I would greatly appreciate it
What if you accidentally slipped while disconnecting the vanos pump and dropped the 7mm wrench into the engine block? Can’t find it for the life of me. What to do? Besides the feeling of hopelessness.
Perfect!Keep going!)
What do you advise, Beisan components to install myself or a full rebuilt unit from Dr. Vanos?
Where can I get the replacement vamos solenoid
Hello! I’m doing a turbo build on the same car. Can you guide me on where can I tap “connect” oil feed line for the turbo
Hi, thanks for the great videos :). I only have a question i replaced the seleniod but i still have the 184 error code and a check engine light is this normal and i need to drive more or i diid somethig wrong? Thanks for your help :) 2005 E46 M3
How much would you say the whole Vanos rebuild would be if someone else did it for me.?
Where can i find this magnets?
Hey is there a way to replace the Vanos solenoid connector? Mines broken....
Hey,
I bought a magnet from harbor freight rated for 30 pounds. My valves on the valve body are not moving at all after a lot of brake fluid through it while cleaning. Do I need a stronger magnet? Thanks
Roughly how much time does that job take and around how much will l spend?
Am I screwed if I am missing the teflon seal? I pulled out the restrictor valve and it is not in there.
I have a query for you! I have a 2004 325i which has activation fuel injector cylinder 3 fault and rough running. no voltage at the connector and a new fuel injector has not cured the fault!!
love my old e46 coupe 2.8 but its once again in non start mode :(
I got one problem. I can't find anywhere tutorial how to change crankshaft pulley on my BMW E46 320D 2003 (facelift model). I think it's the same procedure for almost any e46. Can you make it or just let me in a comment bellow how to do it? I read it online that I need to stop crankshaft from spinning in wrong direction or I could do damage to the engine. I really have no idea how to do that. It's an automatic car. Thanks
@shoplifetv E46 m3 owner here, I still have p0012 and random misfire codes after doing besian solenoid and seals kit after watching your video.
Rough idle cold start, almost zero power below 4500 rpms, and the car sounds and feels cammed. Any thoughts please? Every shop wants $250 just to look at the car and maybe tell me something.
Please help!!
Have you looked over my other S54 vanos videos and performed any other vanos work? If you need one on one help go through my website: www.shoplifetv.com
@@ShopLifeTV yes all I do is read pdf and watch your videos along with others . Btw tyvm for replying I appreciate your time.
Update: removed valve cover. Vanos retaining ring came loose from unit and is stuck in the timing chain under the guide. Some metal fragments and particulates were found in the oil filter because of the retaining clip bouncing around the chain hitting the valve cover and head bolt shaving small pieces of those off.
I assume this is very bad to have metal anywhere in the oil filter which I think means went through the engine. Hopefully the engine can be saved. Still cranks, turns, starts and runs.
But after finding all of this out my course of action is to: remove and disassemble the vanos unit with all beisan parts. Also, since the metal shavings/small pieces, flush the engine with new oil and filter 2-3 times to hopefully bring any metal in oil/engine into the filter and out of the car.
Please advise and suggest, I have talked to Raj from Beisan also and he thinks the motor could be fine, just change the oil filter and rebuild and inspect the vanos as necessary.
What do you think ShopLifeTV? Is my motor toast or can it be saved?
Thanks. Longest message ever award goes too... me? >.>
You heard that stupid shit laughing lmfaoo had me dying
Hey Ankur. No idea where I can contact you so I am writing here. I have bmw m3 e46 2002 with navigation radio and i have a radio problem...the sound doesn't work also the radio stations don't show on my screen...what can it be? any suggestions?
would you fix my X3 Xdrive 3.0l 2014
where should i buy a transmission?
Hello, I have no idea how I can get a hold of you to ask a question... so I’ll ask it here and hope you some how see this. My BMW E90 335i automatic recently went into transmission limo mode, I took it home slowly and once I turned it back on, the car won’t engage gears. Engine sounds perfectly fine, but when I put it on R,D, or DS it will no move. It actually stays still as if it’s on park. The only way the car moves is if it’s on neutral . I am really hoping you can get back to me with any feed back . Thank you
did you find out what was wrong
Hi thanks much for your vid ques my e46 o5 rain fall ac stop rain stop it works again all the time

E46 👍🏆🏁🏁🏁
Buenas estoy en Colombia quiero comprar un e46 m3 2003 que original mente era smg pero la cambiaron por una manual por eso tiene el chef encendido como hago para que él computadora reconozca la caja de marchas me dicen que venden un dispositivo que imita los cambios para que salgan en el tablero gracias
i paid 1077£ at an shop to get this done at a shop. 450 for solenoid and sealing plate from bmw, the rest was timing checked labour and clearing the engine light. i believe i got ripped off
Hell yea u did!
You need a kiss thankyou
haha
What are the symptoms if the coil pack is problematic?
What kind ?
I've been getting P0014 code (exhaust camshaft over advanced) on my e46 M3 and its been a pain in the butt. fully rebuilt vanos w/ beisan system and replaced solenoid pack, cleaned the valve body. and re-timed the car 3 times now and it keeps popping back up. any idea what else could be the problem?
@lil prick re-timed mine the 4th, or was it the 5th time. this time only touching the exhaust side and code came up after 500miles.
cleared code and cleared adaptations, so 400miles and counting so far no codes yet.
Hey, been watching you for a little under a year and love the content! Was wondering if you could show how to fix engine code p1418? I’m not sure exactly what it is and how to trouble shoot. Thank you so much ! (2005 bmw 325i)
Hey man I had a question about a DTC codes im getting on my e46 m3 2005.
I scanned it and I gave me po013-po014..... what should I look for to solve this issue? Also I try to look you up on IG and couldn’t find you... can you write your IG name here for me thanks
I was gonna order the pack and do this when I got it but just seen the pack is like $750!!! Thats crazy! I'm probably gonna wait a long while before I decide to do this. Just too much to put into it right now. If anybody knows a cheaper place to get the pack reply to this and let me know plz
Did you try to order it from bmw or Beisan? Beisan provides an option for core return, they rebuild the solenoid and refund money for your old solenoid once you send it back to them
