I'm in a state of confusion about a few things. Please help me clarify:
The above picture demonstrates error code P0025 as being located on drivers side of the engine.
I'm aware that there are 2 cam positioning sensors on each head 1 for the exhaust and 1 for the intake
I'm a little confused with the verbiage used in the published procedure to remove/install solenoid camshaft
exhaust camshaft hall sensor
exhaust camshaft is solenoid
My plan of attack is to replace exhaust cam positioning sensor (hall sensor) and Variable Valve Timing Solenoid (exhaust camshaft solenoid) on the driver side in the lower position
As demonstrated in the picture above.
Am I making the correct assumption?
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration with helping me solve my dilemma
Regards,
F-16 driver

the early cars did have an issue with dodgy readings and leaking oil
so there were later sensors and as the ones you have might be originals, or by now 12 years old anyway, new sensors all round isn't a bad idea - then see if things behave better
I can't see much value in just doing one side....
I'm not sure.... there was a 2008 engine management ECU update - I think one element raised the threshold of cam timing weirdness before throwing its teddies - that and a gearbox update should have gone on the car way back when - but worth checking - those two usually got done but dealers never bothered with ANYTHING else
essential others
heater buttons faulty (REST never worked)
all fours door modules, thermal trip too low and doesn't reset so the windows just stop working
comand system (big 2008 update - never done in the UK, not sure about anywhere else - dealers no longer undertake it, so I gather)
re the other can bits can't you just buy the 4 current cam sensors parts - and fit what they give you - by the way supposed to be a short link wire between the loom and the sensors to discourage oil leaking by - that's what the first PDF is on about - was meant o be free parts and fitting
