Anyone diy replacing oil solenoid valve yet?
next item to fix is leaking oil pump solenoid valve
Part doesnt cost to much but dealer wants about 900 to fix it. i have a couple independent shops i may bring it to, so i dont have to try and replace it off my back in the drive way.
I find bits and pieces of how to do it but not anything comprehensive. looking at exploded diagrams it looks like it stabs into the oil pump with a mounting screw, the cable feeds through the pan i presume, and connects somewhere? Dealer says they gotta take out passenger side axle, drop pan, etc.

See if you fall under the TSB first, they should have found that when they looked up the part.

I replaced mine. It was not to hard a job. The biggest problem was that I have a 2013, and the oil pan is glued on. That means you need to buy a cutter tool to remove the pan. And then spend all day long trying to get all the glue off. The earlier cars have a gasket and should be much easier. The solenoid has been revised many times. My new one is holding up fine.

You could save yourself a lot of mess and a lot of time by just installing the repair kit, which doesn't require the removal of the oil pan.
We stock the repair kit, it costs about $70 and takes about 1.5 hours to install on a bad day.
We have been installing them like crazy for the past year and a half or so now, and for FAR cheaper than $900 with FAR less mess and hassle.
The repair kit requires you to do some soldering and wire chasing, but a multimeter will make quick work of finding what you need to tap into on the DME harness.
