Hook up the Durametric and go to the actual values tab.
Click on... Camshaft deviation Bank-1
Click on Camshaft deviation Bank-2
Should bring up a graph and also number on the right hand side.
Do this at idle RPM.

Do a search here on the forum for camshaft deviation you will find plenty of screen shots.

If you have any problems figuring it out let me know.

Just noticed that you have a 2003 so I think your Vario Cam system is different. If it is the Vario Cam plus system then that system functions in a different way. So I do not know if Camshaft Deviation applys to that system. Perhaps someone here on the forum knows.
Or watch the video

Only inconsistency I see is I was told to do this from a cold engine and you are saying warm.
