If your starting out with 9 degrees of negative Cam deviation due to the pads being compromised or worn. Then when your Varocam system kicks in your really only getting 16 degrees of advance on the Cams because you are starting out 9 degrees retarded.
I hope that makes sense.

The actuators seem like they are working fine. The issue is you are starting with the 9 degrees of late cam timing=deviation.
Yes it does, and just to be sure.. my actual cam angle readings ~24-25 degrees do not take the deviation numbers into account. (if they did my bank 2 should be reading around 16 degrees like you said). I just want to check that the readings the DME are giving would be expected or if bank 2 should show 16 degrees. I still have doubts about my data given the tune on my car, and lack of error code given the -9.27 deviation.
