Year of Manufacture *: 2007 Engine Size and Code *: 1.6 ( Optional ) Scanner Used: Autocom ( Optional) Fault Codes: 287D - 2845 Vanos & Exhaust jammed or sticking
Hi Gents,
Have this mini that tends to stall at junctions and the above fault codes logged. Is this a matter of changing the Vanos units and timing chain or is there some other underlying issue that I should be aware of, I believe this is the PGA group engine and internally it looks pretty sludged up even though it's only done 35,000 miles. Not too familiar with this engine so any advice appreciated.
Mark

Hi Mark
Remove both of the vanos solenoid valves ( in front timing cover ) and check them for contamination / debris on the filters . If dirty clean off with brake cleaner ,change engine oil and filter and test from there.Seen loads like this,
Hope this helps
Steve

Sorry gents forgot to post fix, cleaning the filter screens and changing engine oil and filter with good quality synthetic cured the problem as Steve suggested.
