No worries, the car is still in brilliant shape and thanks to your thread I'll make sure she's stays that way. Lets see what the correcting action will be.

Edit: btw, did you sort all four vanos out in the end?

No worries at all. I’ve been helped so many times on the forums so I’m happy to give back a bit with a more budget solution.
My local dealer quoted $8,700 for all the work with the new gears initially so I wasn’t too thrilled to just say go ahead.
And yes, I replaced all 4 covers with the metal covers. It’s worth it for the piece of mind. Especially for around 1400$ usd all in parts included.
