Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello
Im looking for a part number and diagram for the engine idle solenoid thats inside the rocker cover, theres a wire that comes out the rocker it has broke on passenger side on engine, need order a new one
Thanks
:welcome:
Car, model, year? Left or right hand bank?
I guess you mean the variocam solenoid in the cam cover, as there isn't an idle control valve on the cylinder head.
A variocam solenoid problem causes a lumpy idle.
Diagram and part numbers shown below for 3.4 engines. They are £110.50+VAT each, and are different on each bank. 3.6's have different solenoids (two on each bank) as they have Variocam Plus.
According to the workshop manual you are supposed to do this with the engine out, and have the body of the variocam valve upright.
"Install the solenoid valve only if the VarioCam tensioning element is vertical. Correct seating of the compression spring (No. 4) is no longer ensured if the solenoid hydraulic valve is installed horizontally (installation position of engine)."
However, I think that if you are careful it is OK to do it in place. Someone correct me if I'm wrong......
solenoid replacement
Mines got the same problem, but you've got take off the cover around the solenoid to replace it. The 2 bolts on the outside will not release it, there are some more on the inside of the cover.
Ninemeister have quoted 3-4 hrs + £110 for the parts.
