How do you replace the VANOS of the Mini Cooper?

Model: Mini Mini R56, R57, R55 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Checks and maintenance

VANOS is a timing variation system installed on the Mini Cooper engine and also on other car models. To be able to replace it, it is necessary to loosen the bolts that secure the component positioned in the front part of the engine compartment, near the dipstick for checking the oil level. Once its fixing bolts have been loosened, it will be possible to remove the part from inside its housing, replacing it with a new spare part. Once this has been installed, it will be possible to verify that the engine is running.
