Vanos solenoid issues on my e92 335.

[rx8]

Last week, my car felt like it was running on 3 cylinders. My 1st impression was hpfp failure. My wastegate was already problematic 4 a while. So i thought i would fix both problems at d same time. Turned out my hpfp was fine, n d problem was d vanos solenoids, all it needed was a clean. My mechanic took out d turbos n sent them 2 tong turbo in cheras 2 do up d wastegate rattle. D turbo themselves were in good condition. Car feels fantastic now, total bill less than 3k incl full synthetic oil service. Cleared all fault codes. Will update again if other issues arise. Supergrippen, call me if u want a listen of d jfa exhaust n downpipes.

Awesome... good to know your car is back to its normal self.Must be liberating to be able to 'feel' the car right again.

Sorry, wrong self-diagnosis, vanos solenoid was fine after a clean. D real problem were my injectors, specifically # 4,5 n 6. Injectors 1, 2 n 3 were fine. My mechanic said d replacement injectors from auto bavaria r improved versions from d originals n therefore i could not change just d 3 faulty ones. D symtoms of faulty injectors r a very hesitant n jerky ride, misfires n d car feels like it wants 2 die espc at lower speeds. Check light never came on 4 whatever reason. Cost shd be approx 1k per injector. Car feels super so far. Did my vogtland springs n hawk pads at d same time but that is another story.

Oh my god, with the injectors faulty, you still managed to smoke all of us here. Now i wonder, with the new injectors, we wont have the opportunity to even smell it. Anyway, glad the matter is resolved. I will pray hard for my ride....

Bro, who is your mechanic? and did they recalibrate the ecu using INPA?
