Green rubber

Then your VarioCam is still working. You cannot just pull of the cam covers, that requires holding fixtures to prevent fracturing the camshafts.

At this juncture, I would suggest taking the car to a pro and have them drop the sump cover and see how much green rubber materials they find.

Thank you JFPinPA I will keep an eye on it now that I have learned what I should be doing .I have read that the deactivation should be within plus or minus 6 degrees .Is that correct ? And at what RPM ? Still not really sure what spec Im looking for as far as whats good and whats bad.Thank you so much to all the Forum members and especially JFPinPA Thank you sir.

Cam deviation is a measure of how far off the cam position is from the ideal position. The actual cam angle should move from near zero to around 24 degrees if the VarioCam goes active with increasing RPM. Cam deviation limits are +/- 6 degrees.

And please stop calling me "sir"........
