How To Test A VANOS Solenoid - N20 Intake Vanos Exhaust Vanos Actuator Solenoid Removal And Testing

BMW N20 Intake Vanos Actuator Removal and BMW N20 Exhaust Vanos Actuator Removal. A common question is: How To Test A VANOS Actuator or VANOS Solenoid. In this video I remove the intake and exhaust VANOS solenoid and bench test them to verify correct operation. You will need to supply power and ground to each pin at the solenoid and to do this I use the KZEE Vehicle super probe which is a great alternative to a power probe as it has more functions than a basic power probe. With the KZEE vehicle super probe you can easily test components by supplying the needed power and ground to activate the component. I also go over a bleeding procedure for the VANOS solenoid if the VANOS system is air bound after a repair and a quick way to test the solenoid, central valve, and vanos unit by supplying power and ground to the unit with the engine running.
