As the title states, my VANOS unit is about to crap out on me. Evidently there is a bearing loose inside the unit. On top of that I have a leak in my power steering pressure hose. Joe Self BMW wants to charge me $1000 for the VANOS unit installed, and $370 for the power steering hose. Thank God for Pacific BMW, I got the parts for less than half of what Joe Self wanted. Still sucks to have to replace this stuff though.

What are some symptoms for determining that the VANOS unit is going bad?
