What code did you have? You had a scanner could have include that. I have a p0015 don't know to replace this one or there ones by the valve cover gasket
That would most likely be cam position sensor. Those are located directly on the valve cover. There are 2 of them. One for intake one for exhaust. Both are one bolt 8MM and slide right in.
Half engine means limp mode. Code P1338 has to do with your camshaft position sensor. It’s usually a bad sensor. It’s usually one, try swapping out one of the cam sensors with the other, move the exhaust one to the intake. If neither works replace both cam sensors. If that doesn’t fix it it usually means your timing is off, some electrical issue. How many miles are on your vehicle?
Nice Video, noticed the replacements looked different to the originals on the part that is internal will this not affect oil flow/pressure at all, I have a Cooper s R56, thanks.
No as I mentioned in vídeo they are the same exact part, OEM replacement and no they will not. VANOS solenoid is for Variable valve timing. The reason they look different is due to normal wear and tear. And part is the same for N12-N18 engines
Hello, excellent video, one question, I’m from Mexico City and I’m trying to buy that front part from eBay, what’s exactly the name of it,how can I search it? Thank you
Thanks for takin time to make the video but a little word of advice for future videos, Less of you & more on what you are doin as thats the main reason why 99.99% people are on here. Less is more at times
Yeah bud IDK what your talking about I explained every step along the way, and showed what u was doing. At no point was I the focus. If you’re saying/asking for more angles I’m sorry but I did what I could with what I had. This whole video was recorded on an iPhone 8+..
Thanks for the video ! It was the easier video of all , and down to the ground explaining !
elchecko75 no problem! Glad it helped! And I have a couple years working on MINI’s and BMWS 🙏🏻 it’s very easy after you install clear your codes!
Great video. Going to have a go at my UK mini Cooper using this video as instruction. Thanks my man
when it comes loose it is good to replace it with a longer bolt with a stopper in the middle

I don’t remember what code I had. But p0015 is timing related to cam position. Usually just a bad sensor. If not your timing may actually be off.
are these Dorman parts still working???? I'm afraid to use them
Yes never had issues in the 2 years she was still in my ownership replacing them with the dorman’s
thanks for the video!! Question, I have a half engine and code p1338, do you happen to know what could be the issue? thanks in advance!

Your car is in limp mode that usually happens when timing jumps or is way off, try changing your cam position sensors
@@NeffF thanks for your help. I have 155K miles. I will change the sensors and hopefully it resolves the issue.
@@Mao4124 Yeah that sounds about right, probably about time to change them out if they havent been changed yet.

There is a separate solenoid to regulate pressure, it is part of the oil pump assembly
Obrigado pelo video, sucesso, grato.
Denada! 🙏🏻
Hello, excellent video, one question, I’m from Mexico City and I’m trying to buy that front part from eBay, what’s exactly the name of it,how can I search it? Thank you
It is linked in the description it’s on amazon. It’s called a VANOS solenoid
Here is part number : 11368610388 VVT Vanos Solenoid. I purchased Pierburg brand.
@@angelicag027 where y buy it?
@@Noobietrolo ebay
What type of oil did you use to coat the Solenoid before putting the new part back in?
Motor oil. I believe I said it in the video too. Same oil that is changed when doing an oil service.

And appreciate the constructive criticism I’ll keep it mind for my future videos
Are both sensors 30s
As in 30torx? If so yes they should be.
You didn’t show what codes you had on you Diagnostics’s you cleared
Yes i did it pops up on the scanner when I clear out the codes. P0015.
