Valve tronic motor

[Cornerstone]

Hi guys,

I took my E87 118i to mechanic today, he says i need to replace a valve tronic motor, i have some idling problem, where the rpm change slightly up and then down and then back to normal every time i stop, does anybody have experience with this type of problem? sometimes also feels like a very slight power loss

i also need a rear window washer pump

any idea what this would cost? can i buy these second hand or a quality after market product?

would like to get a second opinion any good mechanics to suggest, i'm in cape town.
thanks guys

Vanos perhaps?

Get a second opinion, it could be the vacuum pump or one of the hoses to the ccv.

he is correct, the x18i motors have Valvetronic motors that run thr torque and no Vanos, do a search and you shall find my thread about my valvetronic motor replacement, was a bit pricey so a second opinion is definitely needed, especially because my car had a transmission failure sign go of and said it needs to go to the dealer ASAP, when the motor failed, it had low lower power, and no idle issues.

i am thinking it isnt your VVT motor...
