Can some one check labor time on this job for me
So I took my car in due to a drivetrain malfunction and the tech indicated that it was oil control solenoid failure bank 2 and they will need to change both and he quoted me 6hrs, sounds like that's long for two solenoid but I ain't no tech so I figure I would ask. Car is a 2018

VANOS solenoid, right?
I can't vouch for hours as I don't know how long it would take, but I've looked into the procedures on ISTA and it is a heap of work for what in the end is a pretty simple replacement. The issue is you need to remove quite a bit to get to them. The right hand side was about 30 pages of instructions/images factoring everything in. And the left side was even more from memory. I had a similar malfunction recently and cleared the codes and it hasn't happened again since. Mine happened on a rough cold start. I ended up buying four solenoids intending to eventually do all of them... |

Thanks guys - receipt states it took them 5hrs so i guess its all the other stuff they had to move to get to it - they replaced 2 solenoid valve part # 11-36-8-605-123.
The codes that were present were fault code 131601 Vanos Exhaust 2 not controllable and 120908 charging pressure control 2. Warranty covered it, only had to pay the difference as I wanted oem parts as oppose to aftermarket.
