We cleaned the debris filled vanos both but the error still persist with rattling from inside the engine when idle or the air cooling is on or I stop or want to accelerate or even when the gear is in reverse .it drives smooth after the rattling. Here are fault codes you may have if a VANOS solenoid is causing your problem, 2A9A Cam sensor, inlet signal invalid for synchronization, 2A98 (P0016) Crankshaft intake correlation value outside ref range, 2A82 intake VANOS jammed mechanically, 2A9B exhaust camshaft sensor signal invalid for synchronization, 2A99 (P0017) Crankshaft position sensor and exhaust camshaft, correlation value outside reference range, 2A87 exhaust VANOS jammed mechanically. Check spark, fuel injector pulse and pressure fuel, volume and quality. Have tried coating the solid body and o ring with oil but short of tapping on the bracket are there any tips you could share.
