Re: its the VANOS...how many hrs does it take to repla

there are two cam sensors. You should always replace in pairs. And there are no adjustments.

Re: its the VANOS...how many hrs does it take to repla

I just went though this on a 2002 with 95000 miles. out of waranty
the dealer covered the part and charged about 8 hours of labor plus an oil service and some gaskets.

your quote sounds right on

its the VANOS...how many hrs does it take to repla

replace? Dealer is charging me $800 in labor but their covering the cost of the part.

Stab in the dark, because I don't know for sure.

Did you reset the computer?

When installing this sensor, is there an adjustment? I would assume that there must be some sort of adjustment with it, some why to set it to zero. Maybe you just need to rotate it slightly? I also had to have mine changed, but luckily I was under warranty, unluckily now because I don't have the specific knowledge to help.
