You need DIS or ISTA (Rheingold). I'm not sure if INPA can do it.

Could someone please post how to do the Vanos test to see the values and do a bleeding procedure, using DIS? A step-by-step procedure on getting to the menu(s) would be helpful!

 

When did you replace your MAF?

yes if any1 does that it would be helpful as well.. all i knw its an 18min procedure but how do they do it i dont knw yet

 

bmcables.com is what I use, and it's working fine for me...

 

cable done
and where can i download the software from ISTA (Rheingold)

 

Bmcables bundles the software and I actually think it's locked to their cable (it was with dis). I also use them and it works great never tried to do a vanos check with ista-d but it's been great for everything I've used it for. A huge upgrade over DIS.

 

Usually Air mass sensors need to be replaced every 50k miles

Try to clean both banks first and if their mileage is more than 50k miles just replace them

ok ill start as follows and i thinks its the most logical way (until proven otherwise )

1-changes mafs
if it doesn't solve idle fluct
2-change charcoal filter vapor (some say its related)
if it doesn't solve the issue
3-perform vanos bleed (solenoid test) and if solenoids are not ok (change them)
if it doesn't work
4-ask for a witch's help and perform black magic to solve the issue

 

Wouldnt waste time on the charcoal canister filter in the rear for the gas tank....

I would run the vanos performance test for the solenoids and go from there...

 

I second this; also don't start buying MAFs ... They don't go that easy... Maybe if it was an Audi, yes, but not on Bmw's.

 

Does engine need to be running while doing the Vanos solenoid voltage check?
