Product Information

The Valvetronic eccentric shaft actuator is located on top of the valve cover and is responsible for adjusting the position of the eccentric shaft which directly changes the lift of the intake valves. When Valvetronic is functioning all engine speed is controlled exclusively by the Valvetronic system by varying the valve lift as needed.

The Valvetronic actuator is a potential failure item on N51/N52/N52N engines but the good news is it can be replaced relatively easily as it sits external to the engine on the valve cover. This kit comes with a new actuator, actuator seal, and replacement hardware.

Where is the valvetronic actuator motor for the magnesium valve covers? This is the only one I can find with my cars year. Please direct me to the one I need and correct your website to indicate the change. Currently it’s showing 2006 pre LCI n52 as “fitting”

Question Posted by a customer
The pictures show a valvetronic motor for the later N52 engine. Can I verify this is for the magnesium covers since the photo isn’t the correct one I’m looking for?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
No, these would be for the plastic valve covers part number 11127552281
Question Posted by a customer
Does this device need any programming or is it just install and start?
