Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've read lots of posts concerning this repair but haven't seen anyone discuss removing the subframe to work on bank one. Local shop is telling me they need to. Can anyone give me some insight on this?

POST 2Original post

I would suggest you get a second opinion on that one, the Vario Cam components are under the cam cover, which can be removed without the removal of any subframe or suspension elements.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
