When oil pressure is applied to chamber A, the blades are forced away from the VANOS
housing (counterclockwise). The blades are keyed into the hub which results in the hub
position being rotated in relation to the housing (with sprocket). The hub is secured to the
camshaft which changes the camshaft to sprocket relationship (timing).
The example below shows the
aaddjjuussttmmeenntt
procedure together with the pressure progres-
sion based on the VANOS unit for the exhaust camshafts.
During this adjustment chamber B is open (through the solenoid) to allow the oil to drain
back through the cylinder head (internal reservoir).
