Your cams can be out of time and the engine will still run fairly well.
Depends on how far out of time they are.
If you have one actuator not working your cams can still be in time until around 1500 RPM when the actuators are supposed to actuate. Then the cams on one bank will be out of time. Then the actuators kick back out around 5000 RPM so the cams will again be in time.
If the shop can not tell you if the cams were out of time and by how much before they replaced the actuator.
And if they are not showing you the faulty actuator and what the issue was with it.
That they charged you big money and didn't fix anything
Also now they want to replace the computer.
For more money.
Sounds to me like
1. they don't have a clue as to what they are doing.
2. they are taking you for a ride.
