Vanos System for MINI

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Improper VANOS function will cause reduced power and poor fuel economy. The VANOS system is BMWs version of variable valve timing and can be found on the intake and or exhaust camshafts. The system uses a pair of electrically actuated solenoids that direct the flow of pressurized oil to the VANOS gears. Depending on engine requirements the VANOS system can advance or retard timing as requested by the ECU.

This solenoid valve controls variable camshaft timing, a common point of failure on aging, high-mileage engines.

When the SOLV fails or begins to function erratically, your vehicle may display fault codes such as 2A9A (Cam sensor, inlet signal invalid for synchronization) or 2A9B (exhaust camshaft sensor signal invalid for synchronization). This can cause poor operation, or even cause "limp mode".

Bremmen Parts offers a cost-effective solution for this issue. This high-quality, OE-replacement Solenoid Valve solves engine fault codes and ensures proper powertrain performance.

Features:

Regulates variable camshaft timing for optimized engine performance. Affordable OE-replacement option without compromising quality or functionality. Eliminates fault codes caused by a faulty SOLV, remedying limp mode operation. Features durable construction, built to withstand the demands of high-mileage engines. Designed for perfect fit and functionality. Includes sealing o-ring and electrical plug.

This is the solenoid switch that activates the VAN0S system on the MINI Cooper models with the N12, N14, N16 and N18 engine. Without this switch activating (and de-activating) the VAN0S you will experience poor performance and torque output, worse fuel economy, fault codes for VAN0S operation and misfires. This is the Genuine MINI solenoid, not an overseas knockoff, so the quality is first-rate. This is the newest updated MINI part.

If you are looking to install the VAN0S solenoid, you should also order the o-ring from the options below. Also check for leaks from the VAN0S oil line and seals. Now is a good time to access and replace it if it's leaking.

This item fits the following BMWs:
2007+ R56 MINI MINI Cooper, MINI Cooper S
2007+ R55 MINI MINI Cooper Clubman, MINI Cooper S Clubman
2007+ R57 MINI MINI Cooper Convertible, MINI Cooper S Convertible,
2011+ R60 MINI MINI Cooper Countryman, MINI Cooper Countryman S

This M6x16 mounting screw is used throughout the BMW model range on a variety of components. Most importantly, this is the latest updated version of the cam sprocket mounting bolt used in the E46 M3 S54 engine (and MZ3 and Z4 M). The original VAN0S-cam gear mounting bolts are known for weakness and a sheared bolt will quickly lead to VAN0S or terminal engine failure. 12 are required for S54 VAN0S bolt replacement (6 per cam sprocket). All other quantities vary based on application.

When doing any sort of repair or maintenance there is no replacement for genuine factory parts. Turner Motorsport carries the Genuine BMW brand with pride and has the parts you need to complete your next project with confidence.
