VAICO Camshaft Timing Oil Control Valve - BMW Engines

The VAICO camshaft timing oil control valve, also known as a VANOS solenoid, variable valve timing (VVT) solenoid or camshaft adjuster valve, is a replacement part for BMW engines. It controls the flow of engine oil to the camshaft adjusting unit. This lets the engine control module advance or retard cam timing to match engine load and speed.

Key Features:

• Electrically actuated solenoid valve that regulates oil pressure to the camshaft phasing mechanism
• Helps maintain smooth idle, steady power delivery and efficient fuel use
• Made as a replacement part to match the form, fit and function of the original component
• Part of the VAICO range of replacement parts for European vehicles, including BMW
• Direct-replacement design for a straightforward installation

A worn or clogged timing oil control valve can cause a rough idle, reduced power, poor fuel economy, slow throttle response or a check engine light with camshaft timing fault codes. Replacing the valve restores accurate cam timing control. Choose the specific part number in this product line that matches your application.
