So fitted the new solenoid yesterday. Homemade vanos socket worked a treat! The rattling is dramatically better on cold start this morning, and overall drivability was a lot better, although it still runs a little rough on idle. Tested the old solenoid and it does nothing so it was toast, new one clicked when 12v applies. Also came out this morning and there is antifreeze dripping from somewhere, I can’t believe the pressure they run at, no wonder coolant leaks are quite common!
