Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I've popped off the cam access covers (the green discs) and checked the timing.

I had the car plugged in today to run checks on the ABS issue and found a 0012 code when I scanned all modules.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I had the car plugged in today to run checks on the ABS issue and found a 0012 code when I scanned all modules. This is a cam position fault on bank 1, no CEL Some may remember that I had issues with oil pressure a few months ago after a rebuild and that is now resolved. Bank 1 is showing 16.8 degrees and bank 2 is showing -5.88. They are out enough to trigger a fault. The car runs very well but road tests have been limited since the rebuild but there was a hesitation when moving off in first/second gear. I've swapped over the cam sensors and the readings vary a little but the margin of deviation still remains on each bank. I've popped off the cam access covers (the green discs) and checked the timing. The timing was lining up just fine. Does anyone have experience of this and have any pointers before I pull the covers and re-time the engine? Thanks

POST 2Original post

P0012/1349: Possible fault cause ♦ Solenoid hydraulic valve camshaft adjustment faulty ♦ Allocation of camshaft to inlet camshaft incorrect ♦ Dirt in system ♦ Solenoid hydraulic valve mechanically blocked

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Timing is out...... No idea how this happened.Timing was locked when I've worked on it recently.

POST 4Original post

You mean the timing reading is out but the timing is physically spot on? Are the cam solenoids at fault and advancing as soon as the engine is running?
