P0020 rattle on cold start! 05 C230K

Greetings, Guys I need your help again! I have a P0020 code. I have new sensors, cam magnet sensors, and cam gears, No oil in the wiring! I swapped Cam Sensors no change. Could it be the Cam Shaft gear bolts? How to check? There is a little rattle when cold starting, The timing is good, it drives good.

Thanks for Reading!

Forgot to mention. I had the same P0020 code and rattle before the new sensors, cam magnets, & cam gears.

Either the tensioner or a gear problem. The gear needs to be locked until oil pressure builds

P0020 after installing camshaft magnets

My w203 is running fine but getting this code. I think I got it either after changing head gasket or changing camshaft magnets. We’re you able to find a solution for p0020?

Changing camshaft magnets can cause this code..
Have you tried putting the original intake cam magnet back in to see if it will clear the code?..
