Hey Thanks a lot man. That was a big help for me.ο»Ώ
Car vibrates after i start the engine, and shuts off. Can you tell me whats
causing this problem?ο»Ώ
Awesome!!!!! Thank you!!!!
This is usually indicative of an issue inside you engine computer. I would
recommend having it programmed at the dealer to the latest software level.
I have fixed a few of these with just software. Best wishes!
I have a 2003 bmw e46 sedan..when i drive it for extended time, especially
on hot days-(summer time) shut the car off for at lease 5mins then try2
start it back up again. it wont start! the temp needle jumps into the red.
as if the car was overheating, it locks-up, nd wont start un-till the
engine cool’s off again, the needle never goes into the red zone while im
driving thought, only when i stop and then shut the car off ive been
struggling with this problem for 2yrs now with this car

That is great news! Thank you for the great comment and subscribing. I am a
little behind on my responses so sorry for the late reply. This used to be
a very common failure. Not too difficult a repair when you know the steps
π
Thanks for the comment Joan. Did you get the install done and did it take
care of your fault codes?
Hello Falcon1209, Thanks for the great comment π I tried to encompass as
much information as I could for this repair. Thankfully it is a nice easy
DIY. Good luck with your repairs!
Aaaaand this is amazing. Thanks for the straightforward practical DIY vid.
Thanks, I’ll be doing this later after I get my laundry put away and if the
weather cooperates. Hot and humid this morning here in Florida
Great intructive video and easy to follow, many thanks
i have the code p0340 on my 99 e46. 323i…i never felt any difference in
the driving performance…the code just popped up…..and now that ive
changed the sensor just as you did in the video…now my car is
stalling…smh…help!!!!
I think I was referring to the intake side VANOS solenoid which supplied
oil pressure to the VANOS unit which changes valve timing. Most often the
failure with a code like this is the sensor but in rare cases the pick up
ring can loosen and cause a false reading. The timing would have to be
reset. I hope to make a video on this before the end of the summer. π
Hello Mike, It should be the same repair. I will have to make a video for
the E36 as my friend has this vehicle π
Last question:) what is the camshaft sensor position actuator bank 1. Is
that on the intake or exhaust?
Thanks for the video !! And thank you for your help!! to help me solve my
problem in my e39 530i
You seven digitd starting from the end or from the first?
I think I’m saying on behalf of all my beemer friends: Thank you so much
for your uploads…Keep up the good work and wanted to let you know your
work doesn’t go unappreciated ….thank you
I have an 1997 e36 with fault code P0340. Should I replace my camshaft
position sensor? Is it done in the same fashion to this video? BTW, great
videos! Keep up the great work.
Hello, Thank you for the kind words π It is great to hear from people like
you and helping people from so many different locations. Thank you for
watching my videos π
Bienveneux π Your Welcome. Not sure I spelled that right.
Thank you very very much this video realy help me fixing my car , I just
renplace that sensor and everything works perfect !! Thank again ! Keep
making videos like this one !!!!!
Starting from the end π
Hello, Yes it looks like both sensor may require replacement for these
codes.
Excellent! You are very welcome π
Hello David, Thank you for the great comment!
Hello Dunn, That is unusual. Try putting in the original sensor and seeing
what happens. If you used a non OEM part it may be a bad sensor.
I have a code p0340 Camshaft position sensor malfunction p1397 Camshaft
position sensor B circuit Do I have to replace both or just the one on the
Exhaust Thanks in advance
If you get a chance pls email me back or reply to this video thanks
Hey is this the same for 2007 bmw x3?
merciiiiiiiiiii merci merci merci merci beaucoup
I got a code of P0340 on the OBD II reader along with Camshaft position
Sensor A Circuit (Bank 1 or Single Sensor). I looked this up and found your
video. I decided to purchase the camshaft position sensor and attempt to
install it myself solely based on this video. The entire thing went so
smoothly and it fixed my BMW! I just wanted to thank you so much for these
awesome videos. You make the process of all these fixes so simple and
explain everything thoroughly. THANK YOU! I’ve subscribed.
Hello cooljde, Can you send me the last seven digits of your VIN number and
I will check your engine designation.
Your welcome. Been meaning to make this video π Helping you was a good
push to get it done π Best wishes to you! Let me know the outcome.
