I reset it and it came back after 20 miles or less[*]the engine has a rattle at start up that last just a second or two[*]i found lots of green bits of rubber in the oil filter[*]durametric cam deviation is -7% bank one and -10% bank 2. both are solid and unchanging. also cam timing is 1 deg up to 2500 or 3000 and then changes to 25deg on both banks
Car runs very well.
After researching it sounds to me like one or both chain tensioners for the variocam is/are toast.
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like the cam timing chain tensioner pads are damaged, recommend removing both cam covers to inspect & run engine as little as possible until issue is resolved.
This is a very difficult operation to do with engine in the car.
