Cam position Sensor Code P0019

Hey all, I have a 2009 C63 AMG. 145k miles I recently got a P0019 code. I started with the sensor. Bought an OE one the old one that came off had a ring/slight score mark around it.

Now I can clear the code and it will stay off until I restart the car.

So now after reading it's most likely the cam phaser or cam adjuster whatever you want to call it. Doing some research looks like I can replace the plates for about 400 and fix the issue.

My question is, could that code be anything else? I don't hear any rattle or noise on startup. Car still has plenty of power. Even at idle no cam rattle.

Sorta at a loss right now.

We need to know the magnetic reluctor ring to exhaust cam shaft correlation position as it is manufactured from the OEM Suppliers. These magnetic reluctor rings are known to slip especially when the engine has been sludged up.

can you provide me some more info please?

I left out of my original post: a good friend of mine owns a tuning shop and has a star computer. There is a learning procedure he tried and it kept failing.
