P0016 And P0012 Codes

FlameFusion · 07-04-2020, 12:15 AM

About 2 weeks ago I got a check engine light. I scanned it and it turned out to be a P0016 code I then cleaned my Vanos Solenoids to see if that would do anything to fix the light and reset the code. Once I did it it seemed to be running fine again. It was fine for the past 2 weeks until I got another light come on driving home from work. When driving to my mates to scan the code the engine light turned off again (And is still off now). I scanned it to see if it was the same P0016 code I had earlier. This time it was a P0012 code. The car is a 2006 323i. Does anyone have any ideas on what it might be? Thanks.

Hi guys found the issue for anyone looking though the forums. The item ended up being the vanos sensors.
