Update about pressureregulator. I have now bought a new pressureregulator for vanos and mounted it yesterday. I noticed that idle became a bit lower and vanos rattle little quieter. But now I really know vanos oilpresssure is right.

Boanke, absolutely stunning car an absolute credit to you sir. with regard to your new vanos pressure regulator how did you set the pressure of the new one or did you not adjust it and fitted it straight out of the box so to speak. I am curious as it has been mentioned in the past this can effect t...

I dread to think what goes through your mind when you have to drive through the unavoidable puddle

I try to avoid mud puddle, gravel, living animal, old women, e.g. When I cant I take it very easy, very easy.

Thank you. I clean them using some car shampo, then it was tons of elbow grease and pollish in different gradient( is that the name when one is finer then the other)? and at last washed it with glass cleaner.

I suspect that my dampers is not up to date. The car is a little soft. Maybe this can help, what do you think?

Hi Here is the latest from sweden. the discussion i now about that if one do this mod the rattle is gone but the pressure is not rised but lowered. That is not the ultimate solution. quite many has done it my self included. The silence from engine is a blessing and I havent noticed any loss of power...

After some test and investigation it seems like it is to by a new regulator, or just do the adjustment.Some guys here in sweden has done it and we think it is the ultimate solution for our problem. why have it not come up before? It is a very simple thing to do. It is just thing that I have in my mi...

The rattle is coming from gears behind vanos and depends on a spring that have lost elasticity over time. Spring decide how much oilpressure. Softer spring = low pressure and to much clearance between gears = rattle. to compensate for soft spring one can adjust oilpressure upp to normal level. Or on...

Maybe this is old news, that a fast fix is out.
