Something doesn’t add up to me.
RPM seems to be having a significant uptick in demand for this DME, so it seems failure does occur with these. That will be rather expensive since the car doesn't move at the moment.

They did check for any mechanical faults and found nothing. I am not sure about a VANOS recall, and IIRC there were no pending recalls for my car.
