All these codes, just limped.....

cstmx_ryder · 05-05-2011, 06:53 PM

Hi

I need help please...

10702 - misfire cyl 2 (going to change the plugs)

12020 - ?? (have no clue, it's not on the N54 code list)

10740 - catalytic converter 1 inefficiency (?? I'm catless!)

10887 - outlet-vanos variable cam control test (??)

12544 - boost-pressure control, deactivation (WTF??)

What should I do?! I'm out of warranty FYI.....

TIA!

O2 sensor going bad. Maybe Vanso too.

One of your Vanos solenoids needs to be replaced. Common problem with cars with more that 50k on the clock. When it throws a vanos control test code, it will always be accompanied by other codes. Luckily a vanos solenoid is less than $100 and takes 5 min to install. Might be worth doing both (intake and exhaust) if they are original.

12020 = 2EF4 which is "Thermostat characteristic diagram cooling, mechanical" whatever that means

EDIT: According to endtuning.com it is "Map Thermostat Mechanism Jammed" not sure that helps anymore

Is there an EDU on how to change the vanos solenoid?

Where would be the cheapest place to buy the vanos solenoids?

I called BMW and they wanted $154 and some change for ONE! lol

TIA

Should I just replace one, or both solenoids?

Nedim · 05-06-2011, 12:15 PM

Both. I am doing mine soon as well

Thats where I bought mine and I only replaced the exhaust, but not a bad idea to do both.

cstmx_ryder · 05-06-2011, 01:25 PM

Are you referring to the cat converter code? I thought there's another code for O2 sensors when they're bad, I believe I've had one like that before.......

Just don't wanna start ordering parts when I'm not sure that's the issue........

Your o2 sensor is fine. That's just a cat code from running aftermarket (or fewer/no) cats. That's handled by CANclear periodically not not trigger any dash light.
