Follow up to my last question.. replaced the valvetronic motor with a new one. Made sure everything is in place exactly like it was. Took it to mini, they are claiming the valvetronic motor was faulty. Replaced it again, and still getting p105c . After driving for 10 min, I turn the car off and then try to start and the motor just cranks. Never fires. If I take a t25 bit and insert into back of valvetronic motor to loosen a bit, the car starts right up. No way I get 2 defective valvetronic motors. I have to be missing something.

Was the eccentric shaft sensor checked?

Hi Nick,

I just had my garage check the sensor. They have determined that the sensor is acting properly. Any other ideas. They are pretty much at a loss as to why the car won't start unless we "loosen" the valvetronic motor.

Hey Justin - go back to the tech article and leave a comment on there for Nick. That is where he sees them and responds. Hope you get this figured out!
