My check engine light won't go out

Hey guys I really need your help anybody. My engine light just won't go away. They initially diagnosed the vehicle n told me it was a failed VANOS so I went a head n replaced all the O-Rings which usually cause the failure but the light never went out. Does anybody know if I need to do the solenoids or what to do next? I am completely desperate to have the thing back on the road. It's a 2000 323i

What are the codes? Autozone will read the generic codes for free.
The VANOS seals usually do not cause a code.

gotta find out what the actual codes are as Shanneba said. did you just assume the light was for vanos and didn't bother reading it?

Yeah I took it to the dealership n they diagnosed it n told me that. I have a very good friend who wrks there n wrks in my car whenever I take it there n is the one who suggested doing the seals first

They had suggest replacing the who vanos but it's a whooping $2000 bill n I definitely can't afford that

IF your VANOS is the issue, you can get a remanufactured one from Dr. Vanos for 250. Don't trust the stealership however.

Or what if I just replace the solenoids instead coz I had opened it a couple months ago n it's pretty much a shell wit a couple seals n sensors. What do u think coz I already started remanufacturing this already. I replaced the O-rings wit the beisons urethane ones

First, I would recommend you read the codes and tell us. Preferably use a BMW scanner. As mentioned before, VANOS does not usually throw a check engine. I do not know about the intricacies of the VANOS with respect to the solenoids and such, so someone more knowledgeable (Mango, Rajaie, Jfoj) may choose to chime in.

Ok I'll do that then let u know the codes. Thanks for your time bro.
