Vanos: OEM vs Aftermarket
At 90K miles, I'm looking to replace my vanos solenoids for general maintenance. Rock Auto has Gates for $58 bucks each versus aftermarket for $160-$180 each.
I searched the board but didn't find much about N54 solenoid replaacements. Has anyone tried the Gates solenoids? Who the makes the OE vanos solenoid? Thanks |

If the OEM ones got you 90k miles and you are doing it preventatively as it is, why would you even consider spending that much $ on aftermarket solenoids? What would they do for performance? Going to go out on a limb and guess zero. But hey, it's your money!

OP's been banned. Looks like his last post included a dubious URL -- and his other content was for Exx 3 Series issues. Just ignore (and mods, I'd lock this thread at the very least).
