    2003 M3 E46 Vanos Solenoid Connector

    Has anyone replaced the connector on the Vanos Solenoid ? I just replaced the solenoid and notice the housing on the connector is broken and not making good contact. I bought a new connector and I'm about to replace it. Anyone have any experience doing this ?

    its the connector that you had to unplug to remove the solenoid. Mine was held together with tape and broken. BMW part number 61138383300. Im mostly concerned about removing the pins without having to remove the whole cable assembly..... thanks Don
