BMW VANOS Solenoid Valve - 11367524489

Replace your fault BMW VANOS solenoid valve with this high quality OE replacement. Controls variable camshaft timing in each cylinder head and is a common failure point on higher-mileage vehicles. This solenoid threads into the front of the M62 engine cylinder head and regulates oil pressure to adjust the intake camshaft position through the VANOS system. Over time, sludge and debris can clog the solenoid, leading to VANOS-related fault codes, poor engine performance, and drivability issues. The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) solenoid is a critical component of the engine’s valve timing system. By controlling oil flow to the VANOS mechanism, it helps optimize valve timing for improved power delivery, fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions across different RPM ranges. Common symptoms of a failing VVT solenoid include: Check Engine Light and stored VANOS/VVT fault codes Poor acceleration or reduced engine power Hesitation during throttle input Rough or unstable idle Inconsistent engine performance due to incorrect valve timing adjustments Replaces BMW PN 11367524489 Fitment: 540i 1997-2003 (26) Camshaft Adjuster Solenoid 740i 1997-2001 (18) Camshaft Adjuster Solenoid 740iL 1997-2001 (18) Camshaft Adjuster Solenoid X5 2000-2003 (16) Camshaft Adjuster Solenoid Z8 2003 (3) Camshaft Adjuster Solenoid
