The VANOS units are supplied with oil via ports in the camshafts. The oil ports are located
on the left and right of the thrust bearing. Depending on the individual VANOS adjustment
direction, the VANOS is supplied with oil via either the rear oil ports (1 & 2) or the front oil
ports (3 & 4). The oil moves through the camshaft to the VANOS units.
