Hi I have got a bmw 116i es which has recently developed a fault where the engine management light has come on and the car runs rough at idle but drives fine when in motion. I plugged the car into a scanner and it revealed a fault code of p0014 camshaft position actuator b bank 1 timing over advanced so I removed the soilenoids cleaned them both and replaced them the code was still there the same code. I then removed the soilenoids again and switched them into different positions or exhaust to intake and vice versa to my surprise the code then appeared as p0011 camshaft position actuator a bank 1 timing over advanced. So i switched back again and the code went back to p0014 so I assumed faulty exhaust soilenoid purchased a new one from bmw fitted it with hope of fixing the problem with no joy can you please advise me on what the problem could be thanks

If the code followed the solenoid, it usually is the solenoid or debris in the solenoid. If not, the issue could be a faulty VANOS actuator or worn timing components.
