This is answered in your other thread ... no, Mercedes does not have vanos (proper spelling). It’s a BMW term describing its variable valve timing system.

OM642 engines do have variable camshaft adjustment/timing...... as does the M272, M273, M278, M276, M156, M157 and so on. So, it's not called Vanos, but it's there.
