In the autologic go the the next page on the code that gives you the frequency and if the code is present, it may also give you the obdII P code.

You used an ohm meter while homing the vanos?

EDIT: Also, are you getting good oil pressure?

I think we did that, no P code there and freq was listed as 1 , I think I have a print out in the car I'll double check.

Correct, when the crank/cams were locked, turned the vanos units backwards with the special tool and used an ohm meter before locking the transmission in it's backwards state.

No oil pressure light, no clunking or noises of any kind that I can hear (I know what a low oil pressure sound is like based on the m10/m20 sound when it starves for oil basically so nothing like that). I may still pull the oil filter housing possibly to get that thing cleaned out from old oil, do these have problems of any kind at all due to age/miles/old oil? Is there possibly an oil valve in there?

Are there any other tests in Autologic that can be done to confirm if it's TIMING that I did incorrectly OR if it's the transmission units that are bad? OR if it's cam sensors or something else altogether before I get back into it. I imagine or hope that there has got to be something that checks the range of motion maybe or something to verify or narrow down where the problem exactly might be?

I drove it this morning to work, started right up, no noises, pulls fine, idles fine, no issues with passing power. Sucks :(

After speaking with a couple techs, I am being told that the codes indicate that the timing is not 100% spot on. If the vanos transmissions units were bad, there would be other codes. The valve behind the solenoid is an oil drain valve and can cause vanos startup noise because it drains the oil back.

So, I am going to re-time the thing again and get it scanned again. Doh.

God speed. The V8s are funnnnn

Sweet! Seems to be a not-so-invasive final adjustment to get the tone rings right on. Nice video find! Good luck to finish it up...

Gotta love the internet 'eh?

Nice find.

P Code was 0011 - timing bank 1 advanced.

Today I installed new vanos oil drain valves, the old ones were had bad o-rings on them. Popped out w/o much effort.

Locked the crank and cams and the cam sensor wheel was slightly off on the passenger side. Is the passenger side the Bank 1?

Rotated the cam sensor wheel to match the hole in the upper timing cover and the code did not come back after clearing it.

Hopefully this is it and I won't need to re-adjust the vanos transmission(s) as well.
