Vanos valve clean

**Iftekar** · 05-24-2017, 12:36 AM

Have seen bunch of posts of vanos solenoid cleaning. And the valves come out easily after removing the 10mm bolts. I have N55 and the valve is not coming out. Tried applying little of pressure but no luck. Is there any trick or am I doing it wrong for N55 ?

What do you call a "little" pressure? There is a sealing o-ring that goes around the solenoid(s) that "pops" into place when you install the solenoid, so you have to overcome the resistance of the o-ring holding the solenoid in place, although it isn't very much. Are you just trying to pull the solenoid straight out? If so, try wriggling it out.

You used the word "valve" in your post. I am assuming that you are referring to the solenoid(s).

I edited as "Solenoid" but not sure why it's not reflecting.
Anyways, given the space, I am applying the max pressure possible. I tried wriggling but it just won't come out. I am not sure if there's something different in N55. All the YouTube videos were prior to N54.
I am calling it a day. Tomorrow will for a trip to Denver from Dallas so don't want to mess around further.
I will look for advices on this post and will try once I return.
Thanks for replying.
