In Reply To is VTC click harmful or causing more wear, or just annoying? (n/m) posted by Rickytl (ma) on September 07, 2008 at 04:04 PM
     
Message is the VTC mechanism cycling, I believe this will lead to accelerated wear and unnecessary metal in the oil. Now, no one that I know of has ever had one catastrophically die but I have two that were certainly on their way.

Also consider that every click means the intake cams are advancing from 0° to 20° and then back to 0°, this could affect idle quality, emissions, and/or drivability to some extent.

Lastly, yes, it is absolutley annoying that a car as good looking as the Z32 could emit this ridiculous sound.
