How do tell if your VANOS is working or not, my makes the dieseling noise at idle. I was just wondering if there is any way to tell if it working or not?

Re: VANOS test
do a search on vanos here on the board. Its a common fault with the S62, so you should see plenty of comments around symptoms.
cheers
