Just flicking through my haynes manual this morning making sure i was up to the task of removing the sump...then i noticed the proceedure on removing the cams etc....and WTF the intake has a variable cam on some models!!(well mine anyhow),which is activated by the solinoid infront of the right cam...i always thought is was a cam position sensor lol...sombody speak up and make an ass of me!,Does everybody have this?,did i miss a thread somhwere?

You are correct my good man.. the intake cam on the M111 motor is variable due to the solenoid on the front of the cam..
the M271 (evolution 1.8L kompresor motor) has variable cams on both the intake and exhaust.. but we only got variable for intake.

Yep, the magnets on the front to activate the cam adjuster, the cam sensor is the black plug on the right side.
