Question: I have a 2000 328I. I've had a misfire on Cylinder 5 a few times. Cylinder has been switched, spark plugs and coil changed out. A year later my "Check Engine" is back on. Light goes on and off occasionally on the dash. Was off but still failed smog. Car runs smooth though. Mechanic says I need a new Vanos. Will replacing this fix the issue and help my car pass smog?

Yesterday I noticed gas gage is reading incorrectly also don't know if that's connected Please advise.

What are the codes now? You can go to most auto parts stores and get the codes pulled for you. Do you still have a misfire on cylinder 5? What do you mean when you say the "cylinder was switched"? How do you switch a cylinder? The gas gauge problem usually leads to EVAP codes and a bad VANOS you should notice with lower performance from your engine.
