320i E92 has been running pretty well since it was recalled and I got all of the freebies, but I'm still throwing a Low Pressure Fuel Sensor code, and with 90k on the clock it's probably also time to swap out the Vanos solenoids.

It's in for a service next week, might get the mechanic to replace these while he's at it. Has anyone tried the ones you can find on eBay? £38 for a pair of vanos solenoids and £20 for a LPFS seems ridiculously cheap, but if they work they work!

Any experiences?

I'd definitely give them a go. They seem ridiculously cheap, but that's only when you compare them to the rip off prices BMW would charge you.

On the other hand, I like to go by the old adage, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.'

Brilliant,

If they're crap could it do any damage?

I doubt it, I imagine the unit itself will just fail, but this may be worth checking with someone more qualified than myself beforehand. Good luck!
