My M50B20 Vanos got a engine bay washing & degreasing 2 months ago.
Ofc i was an idiot and got wather on all the electrics under the intake ( who would've thought, right? ). The engine started to stutter and not run smooth at all, but after a little fiddeling with all the connectors i got it to run good.
I did removed the vanos selenoid to get acces to the wires underneath and put it back on.
After 60 miles on the highway, it started to lose power, like i was always having the A/C on...even worse.
After that the car was not driven for about 2 months.
What did i broke? Can the selenoid cause the engine not to engage the vanos?
I mean...it runs good, like always, but has no power.
thx
Make sure the spark plug holes are not full of water or oil.
All clean
How "low power" are we talking? I realize that's hard to quantify without a dyno... it's possible some VANOS connector is still not making good contact?
