[QUOTE=colacharlie;639911]Lol! Tbh I’d say 60 percent say tick over but real petrol heads and older people say Idle 😀

Sorry about that Blue - I sent my reply at 3am while just up for a bleary eyed wee wee and forgot - yes I did the variocam Unit and solenoid last week as my local garage (who had no Durametric kit) said they interpreted the code as a bad solenoid. Pretty gutted after allot of work to replace it but hey ho, at least it’s ruled that out 👍

What code? You said it wasn't showing any codes.

At this point it would be a good idea to just do a video of what it is doing. Also with duramtric running graph the following and post a screenshot:

rpm
cam deviation (all values)
cam angle (all values

Do another one with:
rpm
misfires (all cylinders)

Stl unfortunately the garage wrote a code down from their standard diagnostic and then looked it up on their PC to find it was the camshaft actuator at fault, but they deleted the code and we have no record of what it was.

Heres a video of the car after the egas Pedal calibration (batttery off for 30 mins etc process as suggested) ....

I’ll do another video today with the durametric data you’ve suggested
