    A worn VANO unit rattles like a diesel until oil pressure is built up. Time 2-3 seconds max then goes away.
    Look up on YouTube timing chain noise. Then look up VANOS start sound. Then you tell me.

    Check engine light (CEL) means 'Cost Estimate Large'
    I've spent most of my money on this car the rest I just pissed away

    A worn VANOS check valve sounds like oil starvation (it technically is). You can do the seals + guides and still have that rattle.

    All M62TUs will diesel at warm idle unless the seals are replaced.
