Can anyone point me to useful resources (links, video, pages, etc.) on the servicing and replacement of the DISA, CCV, and Vanos for an E85 roadster. Thanks.
DISA is straight forward. Vanos is mostly straight forward!
I've been using i6 for most of my stuff as they're well rated. Just do a quick google for videos, should pull up a whole host. Think there is a chap called 50's kid or something on youtube. He does lots of stuff with the M54 engines.
+1 on the DISA being pretty straight forward. You just need some torx bits and some basic pliers/screw drivers. Nothing scary about it!
I referenced this vid

I did watch a vid on the CCV but it was on an E46. If I can find it again I'll edit my post. I should look for it actually.. found a lot of crude when I did my DiSA so CCV probbayl needs looking into!
