My car doesn't start at all it just cranks, but the scan tool said it was the sensor and Valvetronic. I guess that the sensor goes out it also gets the code for the Valvetronic motor too because they run hand to hand?
@@sne231 Had to make several different part orders because something new kept coming up. It's been about three weeks and I should be tidying everything up this weekend. Will let you know.
Replaced the eccentric shaft sensor and ignition coils. No issues. It probably was more of an issue due to the sensor needing to be replaced as I had several codes. The ignition coils probably needed to be replaced anyways in my case but it probably wasn't necessarily needed in my case.
Does a 1997 E39 bmw 528i have an Eccentric shaft sensor? Please let me know because i just changed my valve cover gasket a few months ago.. Its sealed perfectly and i hate to have to reopen it.. Hoping my car doesnt have or need this. I believe i have some vacuum leak under the intake (very hard to see and access under there. I will try to check from under the car next
Hi, Nice and clear videos. Could a faulty valvetronic motor and/or sensor cause loss of all compression? I have 318i which has lost all compression and I have had valvetronic codes in the past, I wonder if they are related...
I have a question about possible symptoms for the eccentric shaft sensor. When it’s hot and I come to a stop, my cars rpms will drop below 500 and shut off. Also when accelerating the car jolts and the rpms won’t go up. I ran a scan and the eccentric shaft sensor code did come up but I wanted to confirm if this is also symptoms of a failure.
Could this cause the 2a87 code? I have a 2006 330i and the sensor is definitely soaked in oil. I wonder if changing this will resolve that code or will i need to do the camshaft bearing ledge seal?
i have an error that says valvetronic, eccentric sensor, guide; checksum error 134c04 is it the sensor or just the seal ? the symptoms are juddering when taking off and on idle like the car is having hiccups
I have a 2013 328i coupe. and lately when starting the engine it start running rough , and some oil sips out of oil filter housing, and I have to turn the engine off, and open and close the oil cap, and the starts normally. What is my problem ? Thanks!
Mine would do the same one day I opened my hood and noticed a baby leak of oil near the oil filter housing I cleaned it off and thought it was no big deal then I woke up the next day and had More oil slipping I went to the store and my car starting shaking and my engine cut off
If they used the Genuine BMW sensor the list price is $577.95 and purchase price is 20% off list which would be $462.36. If they used the OE supplier VDO brand the sensor costs about $248.50 and has they same list price. DO NOT USE A SENSOR THAT COSTS $55 IT WILL NOT LAST AND YOU WILL HAVE TO RE-DO THE JOB
Morning I got a bmw e90 320i 4cylinder n46b20 when I start my car it misfires and engine will be noisy when I unplug the top vvt sensor the misfire goes away an engine Wil quite what can be the problem.

Hey
Your videos are great but it takes so much time to introduce the video, if you skipped all that presentation your videos could be amazing
Oh my god. Preachhhhh. I literally had to stop watching his videos for this exact reason. It’s so annoying.
He explains why yo shii fucked up so it won’t happen again buddy
@@OtissSpunkmeyer goof
You guys are awesome this is the best car repair site out there. Very clear and to the point...... thanks👍
Love your videos thank for sharing your knowledge with us the DIY community
I hope you guys get so much bigger! Love the videos
Great video 👍 helped me figure out if I needed a new sensor rather quickly.
Great video
My car doesn't start at all it just cranks, but the scan tool said it was the sensor and Valvetronic. I guess that the sensor goes out it also gets the code for the Valvetronic motor too because they run hand to hand?
thanks for this. Can you tell me how to test the sensor??
My specifies angle is valued at 29-30 my actual angel value is 25-26 I’m just sitting in driveway idle
Would this cause studdering and complete loss of power? I have several codes for the sensor and am replacing it along with my ignition coils.
Did ignition coils solved the problem?

Was it related? Having this issue right now
Thank god Toyota and Honda make engines that you never need to repair, just maintain.
Honda does a good job, toyota not so well their engines are really slow
Question I got a 06 BMW would that sensor cause it to backfire spit and sputter until it warms up

Did you find if this was sensor? i have same problem
I’m having same problem after valve cover swap
Did you guys relearn the valvetronic motor?
@@yisyerry supposed to turn it to on position for 30seconds with the new sensor intstalled
@@440Chrisodid I fix this? I have same problem?

i have an error that says
valvetronic, eccentric sensor, guide; checksum error
134c04
is it the sensor or just the seal ?
the symptoms are juddering when taking off and on idle like the car is having hiccups
God a problem on 325i e90 n52 engine the mo vvt is working and the power is there on the plug what can be the problem?
Why does my 750 li go back to park when I put it in drive ? It says solinoid stuck open ? Generic. Code p1806
Could this also cause a misfire?
Can this cause misfires
So how to avoid them from failing in the first place?
Did you not watch the video? He clearly explained in his very strange accent why they fail and how to prevent the failure.
@@ericschott5100 "clearly" is an overstatement.
@@aldovera3789 hahaha
Can't find the video on how to take off and replace the sensor need help on it
What is the torque of that gasket?
It is a problem if i drive with that sensor disconected around 2 weeks?
Will this cause the car to misfire?
Yes
Does this error code refer to the P1024 sensor? or 002A39
Any idea where I can get an eccentric shaft for a 2011 328i that doesn't cost half my life income?
Amazon
Will this cause the car to have less power/RPM go up slower?
This happens with my car and the eccentric error code does come up. I believe it is
if you count the amount of times he says "guys", there's a hidden code to it he uses to transmit to his bmw overlords ;-)
Under-rated comment. 😂
Anyone know the BMW part number for the eccentric shaft sensor seal?
Would this cause the car not to turn on
Im suffering with same problem my car losses Power while driving ,
Hi ALex, have you change your sensor?
Probably vanos solenoids.

The sensor is $55?? I paid like $550 to my shop back in 2019 😅

DO NOT USE A SENSOR THAT COSTS $55 IT WILL NOT LAST AND YOU WILL HAVE TO RE-DO THE JOB
