My car had 30k miles when the VANOS failed and ruined the top end of my motor. They rebuilt it instead of giving me a new engine like they should have and it's been a nightmare since.

And the code to watch out for is 2DCE I believe. If you see this rip on the car harder so the motor blows when the VANOS fails .... otherwise you'll end up like me with problems for eternity!
It would be really nice for me to get a new engine at 83k miles! Then this car will for sure go 250k... like it should.
