Yes I have the green particles in my filter .I checked my active cam timing and it was determined that my vario cam is working .Tested at 4500 rpm and 26 degree of advance showed deviation of 2.xxx .My motor is a RND engine with 23 thousand miles they said its the color of the sealant they use . I continue to monitor my timing and oil.And drive it everyday .There is a pic on this post that shows a vario cam actuator that the piston came all the way out .I would like to ask the owner if the tan plastic guide was completely gone ? I have no rattling sound .Do the o-ring get old and brittle and break or dose the piston come out so far that they fall off ? I don't know what my issue is or if I have one or not.
