I noticed that when I turn the key, there are oil pump pulses in the area that I would consider to be excessive leak-bye. It seems that this drilling at the ends of the solenoid valves is there to drain any leak bye from the solenoids. It is time to start over. Although there was a significant amoun...

The solenoid valves, cams, and valvetronic assembly have all been removed. I thought this hole shouldn't be open, but it is—it runs straight into the main oil supply chamber for the vanos solenoids and the front camshaft bearing. To prevent the pressure from escaping, I believe a block or valve shou...

To set the scene, I've been tracking down a 002a83 vanos issue while also replacing the oil pump, strainer and o-ring, as well as the cam sensors, solenoids, sprockets, housing for the oil filter and cooler. With renewed vigour, I removed the top in an effort to diagnose the problem. After turning t...

Could you please explain the source of the oil seeping out of the hole adjacent to the number one plug tube in the attached screenshot of my 2004 N46 engine?

I am grateful.

In 2006, I will be performing the identical procedure. You can find the bolt for sale on eBay.

Good to hear everything worked out in the end! I believe I brought up Ghost or another immobiliser system on your earlier topic.

Historically, tyre load capacity was the basis for manufacturer-recommended pressures. Particularly for high efficiency models, I imagine that the suggested pressures of recent years are greater than what is actually necessary to support the vehicle's weight. Efforts to increase MPG at the expense o...

In every way, I share your sentiments. In particular, the remote start feature's failure has been really frustrating, and I'm generally unhappy with the Mazda app. Like other BMW ploys, paying for this function is just a way to generate more money off of a trapped audience. My two main concerns with...
