Vanos Issues. HELP!

Glad to hear.

After we swapped the sensors the code 2A7A code came back, but stayed on exhaust side. We ended up changing that solenoid again (think 2nd or 3rd time but luckily it was warrantied), and both vanos filters. We also reset all adaptations and modules and praying this does the trick. Car does feel better so far.

Good luck man!! Once I got it right I could most definitely tell that the car felt better! I hope yours is all good now too!

I dont have vanos codes but i have irradic idle when my ac is off so after reading this thread i decided to give it a shot and clean it. It had some crud on the top valve and the bottom was clean. Also decided to clean my vanos solinods. They were both clean as well. Button everything back up and still having the same issue. Car still drove the same so this this didnt work for me 😬

Did that fix your issue in the end or did the code return?

I'm to scared to sat anything out loud for fear I'll jinx myself...

If it pops up I'll post for sure.

Mine was fixed in the end. Never anymore codes and it ran much much better.
