Hi Mike thanks for that, this sound above my capability! If I took your description to a desent mechanic would they understand and wroughly what would this cost me to sort out? I realised I missed off one code 2870 Vanos inlet flank adaptation Permanent. Many Thanks for you help.
Hi Mike thanks for your advise. Followed it to the letter. All codes gone! Running better, slightly drop in rev when stopping but nothing like before. Ran flight recorder autocom result on Vanos inlet actual 0 to 122 same as specified, Vanos exhaust actual 0 to 122 same as specified. I have service history but no recipes so not sure when the chain was done but will keep an eye. When I drained the oil only 3 litres came out I thought I was keeping an eye on it, unless the seafoam I put in burnt it off? Over all engine sound good, many thanks again for your expert advise greatly appreciate. M
Update: l looked more closely at live reading I have from my autocom and found when moving along the graph of both the specified and actual positions of the inlet and exhaust Vanos I found both to be similar but there were spikes for example inlet specified 106 actual 120 or exhaust actual 68 specified 98 all were within max/mini range. Could this indicate The solenoid need replacing stil have slight wrought idel after reving the engines?
Hi Mike Update: Took cover off. Guides looked ok and chain was tight along the top and down by the tensioner. Ran Scan again this time start up to idel for 10 minuted then increased revs to 2000 for a couple of minutes then raised to 3000 as above then rev from idel to 3000 a couple of times. Looking at the numbers spot on until rev from idel to 3000 then 10/15 off specification. Is this the chain slipping or vanos solenoids not reacting quickly enough? Checked both of them front original part which was stopped in 2009 exhaust solendion first produced 2015.
Also now found oil at bottom of bell housing just by the hole. No visible route from above could that be the rear main seal leaking? Many thanks M

Hi Mike
Many thanks again will look at change as signs are appearing! Also I have a leak at the bottom of the bell housing please photo provided. What could be causing this no visible sign from above or around housing just at the bottom.
Many thanks for keeping this mini on the road!

Hi Mike many thanks no leaks from above so not looking too good. With timing chain as well I think it’s time to let the car go. You’ve been a great help and have enjoyed working on the car but just becoming too expensive if I can’t do it myself. Great cars shame they didn’t build them to last. Thanks M
