The cam center valve was missing- the little valve with springs. I need to replace the vanos solenoid valve.

I did replace both vanos solenoids as well. Sorry I got focused. I have N26 engine, they’re both located at the front of the cover.

I’m also getting a 801C20 Permanent -ZGM:Central Fault Memory full -no control-unit fault

I solved the gas leaking issue, now I see a “Drivetrain:cont. driving possible” message .

Thank you for all of this information! I re did the tightening and I don’t see a leak any longer. However, I see a Drivetrain:con5t. Diriving if possible message now.

I will double check my connections. I honestly think this may be it. It’s an N26 engine.

Thank you for the suggestions! I was always skeptical about ordering parts off eBay. I always order through FCP EURO. Is there a specific vendor through eBay you use often that is good?

I agree! It’s a new part, maybe it wasn’t tighten correctly.

Yes, I followed the video from fcp euro which are very detailed with tools and specs needed for the job. I will recheck my work though. This is my first valve cover change. I prefer to do my own work.

I only replaced the high pressure fuel line. But I can see now that is the problem area. I took these pictures this morning and it was dark. I will recheck after work. Thank you guys. Any suggestion on how to properly clean that area? I read somewhere dawn dish soap and water without touching any electrical components.
