2011 mini Cooper non turbo P0011 over advanced, p0012 over retarded FIXED .. rectangle rings!!

Great video 👍 just to confirm the P0012 is the inlet vanos solenoid (one at the back of the engine). Got the same issue so was going to swap the solenoids over to see if it changed the error code. Trying the cheapest option first before paying for a garage to do any work.

Hey thanks for VID! I have the same codes and just pulled my cam caps to find HUGE grooves worn in them by the cam seal (retaining ring). Did you have grooves worn in yours?

How much do you have to raise the camshaft before you can remove and replace the rings?

do i need to do timing process before i open cams ? or i can just open without worrying about timing ?

i have code p0011 intake camshaft position timing-over-advanced (bank-1) and p0012 intake camshaft position timing-over-retarded (bank-1)

How did that fix the car it must be oil feed to the cams

Hello thanks for the video it is not clear to me. Which is what you changed the camshaft rings or the ring caps. I have 2 codes p0015 and p0014 thanks

When installing those cam phasers, can you install them which ever way on? So basicly, it doesnt matter in which position they are when installing? Thanks if you know the answer since youve done this before!!

What is the part number please

Great video, I learned a lot from it. Have ever removed the lower intake camshaft, it is moved by the worm gear at the back of the engine. I'm wondering does it need to be in a certain position, or how is that camshaft timed up?

Thanks

I been going though it man my infinity Q50 2015 got the p011 code I changed the cam shaft and solenoid for bank 1 and didn’t fix anything do you have any advice I took it to the dealer and they said I have low old pressure and my timing is off 14 degrees they suggested my buying a new engine which is crazy because when the car is on the engine doesn’t make any noise they said sludge is the cause of this can you help with any advice

Hi! Thanks for this video, really helpful. What did you need to torque the bolts back up to on the cam cover please?

Are those bolts you loosened on the camshaft to get to the rectangring torque to yield or did you reuse them?

The good news is you are now an expert at taking it apart. Interesting how you went from hardest to easiest back to very hard to repair.

My mini gives me the P0015 B camshaft position timing over retarded bank1 and P2414 02 sensor exhaust sample error bank 1 sensor 1 P2626 02 sensor pumping current trim circuit/open bank1 sensor1 fault codes.
Any advice on what i should look at first?

Do not open all caps on the inlet cam since it might come flying off as it did in my case, because of the springs. Make sure you wear eye protection if you do this!

Is there just one non return valve? Or is there one in the back side of the engine as well?

how much would this cost to get done?

Hello I’m
Having trouble with my timing it keeps jumping

Thank you, brother! Just got this code today and you are the only person with a video on this

my mini use to much oil..:(

Lots of varnish in that valvetrain. 👀

On my 2012 mini I have set timing 4-5 times every time runs rough..replaced both cam actuators and sensors still shows same code (cam sensor b) recheck timing exaust cam is off time, intake perfect...so I'm figuring I have same problem just on exaust side instead?

I have a malfunction p0014 the vti engine does not have turbo I changed the chain wheel and cleaned the solenoid and when I installed the electrovane with the battery it works normally but the acceleration is weak and the rpm goes down Is it possible that this loop makes this loop double the acceleration and go down in the rpm counter? I hope to help

inlet camshaft angle offset with respect to crankshaft outside tolerance mini cooper ... I'm having this problem after doing valve seals

I'm really glad that I saw this video as I'm about to try to solve p0011 by replacing the timing chain and vvt hub. I changed the solenoid and it didn't solve it. Mine doesn't have the variable valve lift though so I'm hoping it'll be easier to replace the rectangle rings on the intake cam.

What kind of problem did you have with the engine other than the error code?

Was it making the knocking noise when it show p0012 error?

thanks man im going to give this a try. sucks that the exhaust cam needs to come all the way out tho.

That is just thesame problem with my mini too.. about how much would to fix that problem?!?!

Add please following BMW codes to the description
- 2845 VANOS Exhaust Actuator Movement
- 287D VANOS Inlet Actuator Movement

Thank you very much for this video! My 2007 mini cooper had similar problems. I took my car to Motorwerks Mini Dealership because of this problem and had to part with $225 for diagnostics but they couldn’t pin point what was wrong unless I pay more for them to dig deeper. I swapped the intake vvt selenoid for the exhaust one and then bought a new one and my issues were resolved!

Are those called retamber rings can't make out what you're calling them

Hi, can you please 🙏 tell me how can I get this "seal rings" off and put the new ones on, are they like... kind of a rubber ring, flexible? I'm asking because I saw them online and they look like one piece, so... they must be flexible to be able to install them on the camshaft right?

Because I have problems when the car is cold, it shakes a bit. before starting the car, I remove the cable from the vvt solenoid on the exhaust side. I start the car normally without knocking and jumping and I can drive it normally, albeit with a little less power. I only have a p0013 from the fault, this is the vvt solenoid switch. Does the ventiltronic work then or
is connected to the vvt system so that the car's computer disconnects it if the vvt system does not work. To simplify, does the ventiltronic stay on if the vvt solenoids are off? Thanks in advance.

Now I’m going to buying it hopefully it does help thank you for your video
