Looking for VANOS
Im in a pinch and need to get my car working as we are about to move. I need both sides VANOS units. Just the boards with the solenoids will do. Let me know what you got, not looking to spend an arm and a leg but they must be in good working order. Thanks

Minion - you may want to send your boards to Dr. Vanos as aforementioned. Awhile back I took a faulty board out of my 2000 and diagnosed a single dead solenoid and ordered one from him and soldered it in myself. He does this diagnosis for you at a reasonable rate and can find bad traces on the board and replace individual solenoids...potentially cheaper than a new/used board. The prices of complete solenoid packs (board+4 solenoids) went up substantially either last year or the year before and it appears they've gone up yet again. A new solenoid pack used to be anywhere from $450-550 and then when I worked with him last year a good solenoid alone was $250 and a complete board was anywhere from $1150-1300. He now charges $400 per solenoid and $2300 per pack ($200 credit for yours)...which, btw, is less than what the dealer now charges. You can get a new unit complete with the pack for $200 more...crazy.

If Clemster can't help you, I have the packs out of my 2000 model that have fairly new o-rings on them and did not throw any codes that I saw. I would like to help you out but I need to take a look at the market to get a feel for what they're going before I quote you on a price.

dont loose faith in me yet!!!

As a semi-professional DIYer I still plan to fix my original boards. We are currently in the middle of moving and need to get the car back together and either drive it down to atlanta or get it on the car hauler that we have coming (we have a lot of cars)

However once i get settled in im going to fix my old ones and put them back in and sell the ones im buying off clemster.
