im going to take your advice and park the car for now. i only just joined this forum and have no idea who the "Top Dogs" are on this forum. i was however kinda hoping one of them would read this thread and possibly reply

thanks for reply, is there perhaps a way to "disengage" the vanos? what are the implications if one were to continue driving the vehicle in this state? as im sure its been like that for a while now. is it detrimental to the engine, because now im worried

hi guys, im having a bit of a problem removing my vanos and was hoping someone could guide me in the right direction. i have followed the step by step procedeur, however im stuck at the point where it is required of me to remove the "collar nut". the problem im having is, in the drawing in the .pdf on the previous page it shows a ratchet with hexagon socket holding the shaft and a ring wrench loosening the collar nut, however on my vehicle the shaft with collar nut is located more deeper inside the vanos unit, making it impossible for me to loosen the collar nut with the ring wrench. i can reach it with the socket but have no way of loosening it. if any of that made sense to anyone who reads this, then please reply, any info would be much appreciated thanx in advance!
