Hi all-
I'm getting a recurring P0012 code, and from searching it sounds like VANOS solenoid maintenance/cleaning is what is called for.
Anything else I should look for while I am doing this? I plan to pull the solenoids out, maybe this weekend, and then see if I can fix anything obvious (like a bad solder joint). If not I may just send it off to Dr Vanos for repair.
One question- from the Dr Vanos web page it sounds like they only sell the o-ring kit for the 99-01 cars. Given that I have an 02, even though I'm pulling the solenoids out, should I be replacing the o-rings? Will that same kit work?
Thanks.
