FAERSI Engine Variable Timing Oil Control Valve Solenoid VVT 2-Pack for BMW – OE Fit, Plug-and-Play

FAERSI 2 PCS Engine Variable Timing Oil Control Valve (VVT/OCV) is a pair of direct-replacement solenoids engineered to restore proper camshaft oil control and resolve common Vanos symptoms on compatible BMW models.

If your BMW shows timing-related fault codes, rough idle, or reduced efficiency, these FAERSI solenoids are made to match OE fit and function for many Vanos-equipped engines. They replace worn or failing camshaft oil control valves, helping the engine manage oil flow to intake and exhaust camshafts so timing adjustments happen when the ECU requests them.

Which BMW models and part numbers does this replace?

These solenoids are designed for a wide range of BMW vehicles with Vanos/variable-camshaft timing systems. Always verify fitment with your year/make/model before buying to ensure compatibility.

• Fits many models including 325i/325xi, 328i/328xi, 330xi, 335i and 525i/525xi across early 2000s to 2013, depending on engine.
• Replaces OEM numbers such as 11367585425 and 11367516293 and aftermarket codes TS1046, 917-241.
• Compatible with both 2.0L and 3.0L Vanos engines—confirm via vehicle selector.

How will installing FAERSI solenoids affect engine performance?

Replacing failed oil control valves can bring timing control back to specification, which typically improves idling smoothness, throttle response, and fuel efficiency. These solenoids help the engine correctly advance or retard camshafts by regulating oil pressure as driving conditions change.

• Can clear timing-related check-engine codes like P0010, P0011, P0013, P0014 when caused by a faulty OCV.
• Restores more consistent cam phasing for better drivability and emissions control.
• Helps reduce hesitation and uneven idle caused by oil flow failures in the Vanos system.

Is installation difficult and what should I expect?

Installation is typically straightforward for someone with basic automotive skills and common hand tools, but access can vary by engine layout. The FAERSI units are made to be direct replacements so no modifications are required; follow factory procedures and torque specs during installation.

• Plug-and-play electrical connector and O-ring seal for an OE-style fit.
• Recommended to inspect related seals and wiring when replacing solenoids.
• If unsure, a professional mechanic can complete the swap in a short labor time.

What are the durability and warranty expectations?

These FAERSI solenoids are built to meet or exceed typical OEM specifications for responsiveness and lifespan under normal driving conditions. They are intended as a cost-effective replacement option with quality control to ensure consistent operation.

• Constructed for fast response and resistance to common wear factors in oil control systems.
• Meets OEM-style specifications for fit and function on supported engines.
• Customer support available for replacements if parts arrive defective.

Who is this for: The FAERSI 2 PCS VVT oil control valve set is aimed at BMW owners, DIY enthusiasts, and independent shops servicing Vanos-equipped 2.0L and 3.0L engines from the early 2000s through 2013. Choose these solenoids if you need an affordable, direct-fit replacement to address timing control faults, improve drivability, or restore proper camshaft phasing behavior. Verify compatibility with your vehicle’s year, model, and engine code before purchase.
