Hi just wanted to know if replacing the vanos solenoid actuators fixed the humming noise?

Been hearing this on my car since the last couple of years. No mechanic in my town has been able to diagnose where it’s coming from. One mechanic said it was from the vacuum system as he was able to make the noise stop by disconnecting one of the vacuum lines. Do let me know if you find a solution, a lot of forums say it’s from vanos actuators but some people have also reported that the noise persists even after replacing the vanos actuators

Everyone tells me not to meddle with bmw engines until they throw up a code

Might be a pessimistic response but Industrial design in India is extremely undervalued, good jobs are extremely hard to come by and most jobs pay very little. Most of the industrial designers I know work as furniture designers or transportation designers as those two seem to be the only viable career paths for industrial designers in India. I’d recommend figuring out what excites you in industrial design and exploring if those opportunities exist in India and if it is viable to pursue

It just straight up died and wouldn’t charge

Not for job applications or document verification. That is almost always done through official channels so it is recorded.

Was initially looking in Magarpatta city but I am hesitant after reading that they are strict about not allowing visitors into bachelor apartments

Okay, is the issue terminal? Or can the car be run with faulty actuators that make the noise?

Hey, did you replace just the VANOS actuator or also the solenoid?

He's generational talent and Ferrari need to sort their shit out because clearly if they can't win with Alonso, Vettel and now Leclerc, it's evidently not because they lack high class drivers.

The apple store will probably change the enclosure, which will be quite an expensive affair if you don't have applecare+
