N55 Valvetronic Issues, what a surprise
So my dumbass overpaid for a 2013 335i that clicked every time I opened the door, I just overlooked it bc German cars and weird sounds are like cake and ice cream
The ‘woodpecker’ noise is coming from the valvetronic motor, and I was just planning on replacing that to fix the problem. No rough idle, just some power loss, and no check engine lights even tho I am getting one valvetronic malfunction code The eccentric shaft gear has some wear, but nothing out of the ordinary for a higher mileage car, but the worm gear is clearly damaged. Currently am not driving it because I don’t want to damage the shaft anymore in hopes of being able to reuse it. Should I reuse it? I have all the necessities to install and relearn the motor, but I haven’t bought anything because I’m not sure if just the motor would fix it. Quote:

I think the squirter got plugged which caused the initial failure as the shaft and motor both move freely. I bought a new actuator, oil squirter, recess gaskets, decoupling agents and seals for the injectors I have to remove to do the job. Gonna start with that and if it fails again, it’s under warranty. 100$ deductible is a hell of a lot better than an 1800$ eccentric shaft rebuild kit yk? |
