• Was the failure negligible due to a design, fabrication or material change? Or that people removed, or checked as in was a known weak point? Then again the vanos solenoids are known issue. Things go wrong, some times problems don't appear till the cars are in the real world.

  • No vanos in the diesel. The point is that the design of the swirl flaps is different across the engine size and types - and just saying “swirlflaps bad” isn’t actually that helpful.

  • But at what mileage does the vanos solenoid fail...as every part has a finite life.

    EDIT: Look my best mates sisters hairdresser fisrt cousin had the flaps fail.
