installed the vanos yesterday took 4 hours to do it. the directions were excellent. after install started the car up, ran rough for a few minutes, it didn't want to rev at, would hesitate at 1000 rpm. after a little driving with it the hesitation went away, but didn't seem any faster. then after I let the car sit and did some stuff then drove to work, I felt the car had more low end torque. I like having that torque again, and the power band is much smoother than before. overall it works and I am happy with it.

I have 103K on the car. I still have a sound coming from the motor, I guess changing the vanos didn't fix it, but I should double check that.

It should run perfectly at first once it gets oil pressure. I would re-check your install.

Happy you like it.

I did stg 2 and its da bomb. I can feel the cam advance underload conditions. Its super smooth.
