Then is oil pressure to adjust the Vanos unit is lost and then the DME does not see the camshaft in the position that it wants.

Well if the VANOS needs to be repaired then the cam sprocket would have to be loosened. I don't think that can be avoided in this case. I would imagine that clearing and resetting adaptations would be beneficial in this case.
