    RE: Camshaft intermittent fault

    Iv driven a 323ci with a bad maf before thankfully its nothing like that :-)

    Il unplug it though see if it makes any difference in all honesty though I cant see or notice any problems other then the code it displayed maf readings show it to be fine from reading around

    If I hadn't read the code I would never have gave it a second thought

    I took the valve out last year an all was ok. I ran an inpa test on the disa to activate it and nothing showed up but nothing happened either. I got the car read and cleared faults with a launch system and the car was transformed for a few days don't know if it was coincidence or not as the same fault returned immediately. Maf appears good as soon as it unplugged car dies. I think I will just have to wait until I get the cam sensor fault cleared before I can rule anything else in or out. Or is there anything else obvious I can check

    RE: Camshaft intermittent fault

    Any update?. I pulled both solenoids and pistons, exhaust was seized and full of sludge, all clean now and sliding freely. I got an oem sensor and now have gone from one fault to 3, P0369 intermittent , cam exhaust sensor, vanos solenoid mechanical outlet. What I think has happened my sensor is fcuked for 2.5 years, changed vanos seals 18 months ago seals have not bedded in . The car.is now driving very well plenty of lowdown power. I am hoping that my seals are bedding in and the current faults will work themselves out with time otherwise I will be splitting vanos again.
