I need to draw from the whole board on this one.... We have the Vanos problem..the rattle diesel sound from a cold start up. The car is not right anyone can tell that. Our dealership after having the car for the day phones to say that there is no problem. I ahve done many searches on the board re: Vanos but i needed to know how if you had the problem your dealer fixed it. So basically I (a 16 year old) can spell it out to them. There is no doubt in my mind it is the Vanos problem even though the car is a 01..
Any help/advice would be greatly recieved
all the best
