2012 Mini Cooper R55, R56, R57, R58 VVT/VANOS Solenoid Valve OEM 11368610388

Description:
This is a genuine OEM solenoid valve used in the variable camshaft timing system (often called VANOS or VVT) for many MINI and BMW models. The part allows engine oil to be directed through the camshaft timing mechanism to advance or retard cam timing according to engine load and speed. A faulty solenoid can trigger engine warning lights, rough idle, poor performance, or higher fuel consumption. Replacing the correct unit restores proper timing control and engine efficiency.
Sources confirm this part number is listed for MINI Cooper models with N12/N16 or similar engines.
