I think they rely on the oil filter for this - this is what mine looked like after cleaning. The exhaust Vanos solenoid was quite a bit dirtier than the intake side.



Cleaned them with unleaded petrol and let them stand so that any sludge inside had chance to break down and cleaned out. Then after leaving them to dry I dipped them in some fresh oil for a few minutes before putting them back in.
