is this the N14 motor installed??

the faults seem to indicate vanos problems...

did you check mechanical timing?? if so how??

also, I wonder if the bolt that bolts the vanos adjuster to the intake cam sprocket is tight?? should be 20 nm and a angle torque of 180 degrees.. wonder if its spinning??
