Brad Burnett Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Pretty much anything is possible. Yes the vanos is controllable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 If your is the USA S50 version then it should have the Bosch M3.3.1 which the Link plug-in is designed to replace. The Euro S50 uses a Seimens ECU with a completely different pinout. So start by confirming what your original ECU is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Pereira Posted December 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 This is a bosch ecu i think that only S50b32 is siemens So if i re-wiring the vanos sensor to a empty DI and the two solenoid to a empty aux outputs, it´s enough? because the car have a module only to control vanos "VNC" and i think that it comunicate with ECU via CAN. My idea it´s eliminate the VNC and re-wiring to the link plug-in ECU and calibrate vtc control. It is possible Other doubt, I have vanos only at intake cam but the system uses two solenoids, how can i calibrate which is which Sorry about my english Thank you for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Use Aux 3 & 4 for the vanos solenoids as per below. Set both to Inlet L/H, 50Hz. The cam position sensor can go to DI 1-4. Also, I think the factory connectors on the vanos solenoids have diodes in them and they need to be removed, usually just chop off the connectors and use something common like a deustch DTM or similar.
