I wonder if you actuate the variocam with the engine off, perhaps you could actually hear if its trying to activate.
Listen to the good side to compare.
If you hear nothing either the solenoid is dead, stuck or the wiring/connector are at fault.
The misfires will probably stop once its working again and the timing is right.
Here is a good discussion on Camshaft Deviation. http://www.renntech.org/forums/topic/32942-camshaft-timingdurametric-readingerrors/?p=175209&fromsearch=1#entry175209
Thread #12 at the link discusses variocam function and the deviation...interesting and enlightening reading.
It just so happens to be that with the vario cam ON, the deviation is supposed to be 25 degrees, so perhaps yours is stuck or jammed up some how.
