Hey folks, got an 04 545i with re-occuring vanos control issues for both exh and int cams, bank 1 (codes 2731, 27BB). The car does begin to run rough intermittantly and set these codes along (sometimes) with misfire codes on bank 1. I have eliminated the possibility of vanos control valves and misfires caused by plugs/coils. The data shows the vanos positions as follows:
int position cyls 1-4 aprox 119degrees
int position cyls 5-8 approx 100degrees
exh position cyls 1-4 approx 119degrees
exh position cyls 5-8 approx 119degrees
vanos adaptation intake 1-4 69dergrees
vanos adaptation intake 5-8 129degrees
vanos adaptation exh 1-4 66degrees
vanos adaptation exh 5-8 71degrees
Any ideas from you fellow bmw guys? The 1-4 intake seems to be the one that gets out of whack.
thanks
