Next time one goes, I'm hoping someone has the guts to do a parts mix with a new one. Maybe when I change rod bearings and VANOS pump in a month or so I'll tackle that too. I'll already have the car taken apart and won't have to explain to the wife why I'm doing it for fun.

Thanks again for doing this. Maybe we'll finally have a more permanent solution.

And rod bearings + VANOS pump? Uh oh, what happened?

A month? Wow.
Mkoesel managed to just drive his car and around and his CEL went away from what I can tell. I used BavTechnic to clear the CEL codes, but didn't reset the TA. That was back in July and all is well.
