Sometimes there is a plastic grey cover to protect the connection from the heat from the turbo. Then you need a torx to remove 1 torx nut m6x16. Located under the vanos. Put a cloth under the vanos. There will be some oil spil. You pull the vanos out of the engine. It can be a little bit stuck. Clean it with some breakcleaner. Sometimes you need a new seal. Put some oil on the seal en Vanos when you put it back in. Tip; The F20 n13 engine needs a quicker oil change than recommended from factory. Also use the right oil. Good luck.

Trying to remove the exhaust VANOS now, do you have to remove the turbo as access looks almost impossible?
