    8mm fastening bolt. There are six fasteners for the housing, that is one of the two loooong ones. Not a vanos user, so can't answer the second part.

    I'll agree with Dave because of its immediate proximity to the lower oil cannister housing.

    Running back goes to the oil pan.


    Winfred, I see the area you're talking about for vanos line. Could I drill and tap there since I don't have that by default?
