Set Variable Timing Control Valve Solenoid VVT fit for BMW 328i X3 VANOS Z4

Variable Timing Control Valve Solenoid VVT for BMW

This Variable Timing Control Valve Solenoid VVT for BMW 328i X3 VANOS Z4 controls oil flow to the VANOS camshaft phaser, restoring variable valve timing response and smooth engine operation.

Overview

This VVT solenoid, also called a VANOS solenoid, manages the oil pressure that adjusts camshaft timing on supported BMW engines. A failed unit can cause rough idle, power loss, or timing fault codes. This Variable Timing Control Valve Solenoid VVT is a direct-fit replacement for BMW 328i, X3, and Z4 applications listed below.

Good To Know

Q: What happens when the VVT solenoid fails? A: Common signs include rough idle, reduced power, and timing-related trouble codes stored by the engine control module. Replacing the solenoid restores normal adjustment of camshaft timing.

Q: Is this an original BMW part? A: No, this is a direct-fit replacement part sold for BMW applications and not an original manufacturer component. Confirm the part number and model fit before ordering.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
