Another victim of aftermarket Camshaft sensor~!

[howard8000]

Got the code P0369(exhaust camshaft position sensor)(other codes such as P0505, P0141 came with it). So I tried to replace it first and found one for $40(inculde shipping) on ebay. Replaced the sensor and the codes were gone~~ Y!!

But, one day later, the engine light came back and it's P0161. Checked posts on forum and found out the aftermarket sensors weren't compatable with BMW~~! Damn it, I should read the posts sooner~

Went to the local stealer, it cost me $214CAD just for the sensor . Installed it, no codes since then~

My experience:
If ever find code of O2 sensor or misfire, check the area from air intake system and the last thing is to replace O2 sensor.

Bloody hell ... how much is that in EUR ? I bought one recently for EUR85 from the dealer.
