I’m also guessing you are going to work on the non-return valves behind the right side wheel well next, and not solenoids. The non-return valves are just spring loaded check valves. They are not powered solenoids, so no wires going to them.

For your year look up the bearing ledges tech bulletin and see if you fall in those build dates. I’ve seen at least 2 versions of those, with one that was revised for the build date ranges that it covered.
I had read around and found out that my car is not a part of the defective bolts on the vanos actuators. *fewph*

After clearing the return valves, my codes went away. They were not dirty like some of the pictures around the internet, but maybe something was caught up in them.

Now I only have 1 error and that's a light bulb that is not functioning, while all my bulbs are functioning, lol.

Thanks for your help.
