Drivetrain malfunction
Hey everyone
My M4 is approaching 60k miles and just got the Drivetrain malfunction warning this week. Took it to my mechanic and did spark plugs and 2 solenoid valves P/N 11 36 8 605 123 Drove it for a day and the drivetrain malfunction warning comes back on. It will goes off when I restart the car and will come back on after driving for a while. Today it came on with the check engine light Checked it with BimmerLink and got these errors 1B9804:engine shutdown time signal missed CD8420 flexray bus communication error 131401 Vanos, exhaust, cold start not adjustable 120408 boost pressure control shutdown as follow up reaction 130304 Vanos, exhaust control error, camshaft is stuck This sucks I was just talking about how reliable the M cars I’ve owned have been lol. Any help would be appreciated. I’ve searched drivetrain malfunction on here a it seems to be a bunch of mixed issues Car is stock besides air intakes, taking it back to the shop Monday. Thanks |

Update
So last Monday my tech swapped the Vanos solenoids around and asked me to put some miles on the car. I drove it for a week no issues. Yesterday on my way home from work, just when I’m thinking the problem has been fixed “drivetrain malfunction” I scanned it and found the same code 130304 Mechanic thinks I need a cam adjuster job which requires the engine to be opened up and quoted me around $2500 which isn’t a huge deal but I want to make sure it 100% fixes the issue. Any suggestions? Should I just take advantage of this market and sell it? I would be looking at a small profit over what I bought it for in 2019. It is a DCT and I’ve put 15k miles on since I bought it with 45k. The previous owner must have beat it pretty good. I don’t want to sell it but I don’t want to keep having issues with it. Thanks! |
