Hi, My wife's car has an issue (2015 - 3 cylinder- F55 - I think) showing 2 codes (i) VANOS solenoid valve; exhaust: camshaft jammed and (2) VANOS solenoid valve; exhaust: position not reached. I have looked at the engine but can only find one solenoid location behind the actuator, but unsure if this is the intake or exhaust solenoid.
Unable to find the 2nd Vanos solenoid location.
Any guide or diagrams on how to access the exhaust VANOS solenoid will be greatly appreciated No. 6 shows a solenoid. Not sure if this is the intake or exhaust
Excuse my ignorance here.
Just to clarify, the details of the car are: Model- Cooper Auto (5door hatchback) - 3 cylinder, Twin Power Turbo Year: 2015
Type - UKL-L Variant: XS52. I have also searched behind the engine and can not find any VANOS solenoid anywhere. One of the paperwork given to her states the car is F55. Just need to confirm exhaust solenoid location before pulling the the engine apart [img]data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7[/img] So confused.com right now. :( Any light on the location of the exhaust solenoid will be gratefully appreciated.
