Engine malfunction light (camshaft problem )
I was cruising along at about 80mph when my check engine light comes on (engine malfunction reduce power) . I took car (very slow and carefully) to dealer and the technician stated I had a camshaft problem. Anyone had this problem before?
Thanks 9thwardboi................. |

You probably have the famous vanos issue that invovles the camshafts/bearing ledge seal problem. Or just a vanos soloniod. Need to know what codes you have.

Anyone experience this issue on a 328i?
I got this message over a year ago when the engine was idling with the AC on for about 5 - 10 minutes and the "engine malfunction reduce power" warning came up. I turned the engine off and restarted the car and everything has been normal since. I mentioned it to my SA when I took the car in for service and he told me that they didn't find any codes.

Yes the fixed it, and I was told they have never seen another one come in for it afterwards. I think the ledges are replaced with a revised part.
