Product Information
Controls variable camshaft timing, a common failure item on higher mileage vehicles, includes replacement o-ring set
This solenoid controls oil flow to the VANOS adjustment unit. One solenoid controls one VANOS adjustment unit. This solenoid is an updated design, introduced in the N55 engine, which includes integrated non-return valves and screens which were previously installed separately on the cylinder head. This technical update allows for fewer oil passages in the cylinder head and other major improvements to the VANOS hubs allow for quicker adjustment times. The integrated screen filter in these solenoids prevents sticking due to particles in the oil.
Codes typically triggered by this solenoid valve are:
2A9A Cam sensor, inlet signal invalid for synchronization
2A98 (P0016) Crankshaft intake correlation value outside ref range
2A82 intake VANOS jammed mechanically
2A9B exhaust camshaft sensor signal invalid for synchronization
2A99 (P0017) Crankshaft position sensor and exhaust camshaft, the correlation - value outside the reference range
2A87 exhaust VANOS jammed mechanically

Product DetailsIf your VANOS solenoid has failed, you could experience a poor running condition as well as a loss of power. Two required per car.Previous Revisions11-36-7-561-265, 11 36 7 561 265, 11.36.7.561.265, 1136756126511-36-7-585-776, 11 36 7 585 776, 11.36.7.585.776, 1136758577611-36-7-610-060, 11 36 7 610 060, 11.36.7.610.060, 1136761006011-36-7-851-299, 11 36 7 851 299, 11.36.7.851.299, 11367851299Cross Reference11368605123, 11-36-8-605-123, 11 36 8 605 123, 11.36.8.605.12311367561265, 11-36-7-561-265, 11 36 7 561 265, 11.36.7.561.26511367585776, 11-36-7-585-776, 11 36 7 585 776, 11.36.7.585.77611367610060, 11-36-7-610-060, 11 36 7 610 060, 11.36.7.610.060
