My Battle Against P0015, Round 2, Front Exhaust VANOS Solenoid Replacement
I think I may have won my battle with DTC code P0015! Cleaning the front solenoid worked for about 50 kms, so today I decided just to replace it with one of a pair I got off of eBay (only about $70 for two!). Here are some pictures of the procedure and a few things to consider if you want to do it yourself.

The pessimist in me thinks it may just be the warmer weather ... lol ... knocking on wood ... |
Ugh, I had to have both of mine replaced within a month of buying my R60, and it was not cheap. At the time I was still nervous about working on it myself so I paid someone to do it. Wish I just done it myself and saved about $800, lol. I know what you mean, for a while there it seemed like I was going into limp mode every day at least once. I swear you could look at the car sideways and it would trigger limp mode! Lol. After some work (new turbo for one thing) I can finally drive with confidence that it won’t do it anymore (until something else breaks) but for now, it’s glorious to not hear that Damn alert sound! |
