Hi, I'm a newbie to the forum. I'm having some issues with my e46 318i. I'm getting vvt error codes p1062 and p1031. I checked the wiring and found a little oil in the eccentric shaft sensor, the o ring was cut. I cleaned it out with contact spray and dried everything off and plugged it back in. The codes came right back after driving for a while. The car doesnt go in to slow mode and seems to run ok. Its a little rough on idle but nothing bad. When I delete the codes it seems to run smoother. While I had te covers off I noticed a small cut in the hose that connects the MAF to the throttle. I have taped this well and am sure I have no leaks. A few weeks back I got a MAF fault code but I deleted it and it hasn't come back in the last 4 weeks. 6 months ago I drove it home on 3 cylinders, I replaced the coil pack nearest the windscreen and it was running fine for a week and it failed on that coil pack again. I put the old coil pack in and its running fine since. I also replaced the battery with a heavy duty. Maybe I'm unlucky with parts failing at the same time but can any of these faults be related? What should I do next with the VVT problem? New sensor or motor? Any help would be great, Thanks for reading.
