New vanos solenoid

wallacelau · 09-20-2018, 03:16 PM

Hi guys, I have a 08 328i and just installed a new vanos solenoid on the exhaust. My question is that does it need a bit of time for the ecu to adapt to a new vanos? thanks.

I dont think so, however there might be a ISTA procedure you have to launch to tell the DME that you have a new part installed.

If there was a fault code you should clear it so it is not in the ECU memory and confuse the next technician that scans the car. There are no programing requirements when installing to vanos solenoids.
