Valve gear (Ver.2): Notes
The valve gear consists of the fully variable valve lift timing (Valvetronic) and the variable camshaft timing control (double VANOS), which enables a free choice of closing time for the intake valve. Valve lift timing only takes place on the intake side; camshaft control takes place on the intake and exhaust side.
Throttle-free load control is only possible if the following variables can be controlled:
- Valve lift of the intake valve
- Camshaft adjustment of the intake and exhaust camshafts.
Result: The opening period of the intake valve is variable.
