Hi, yes, it really was a lot of work. But since the visit to the mechanic, I've got rid of the fault in the Valvetronic system. In the end, it cost me €455 to repair the Valvetronic servomotor. Since then, everything has been running smoothly again, so the investment was definitely worth it! Until then

Hi, I have the following error code 002A6F DME: Valvetronic, minimum stroke exceeded minimum stroke adaptation stop several times, at the same time the engine sounds a little louder and the exhaust smells slightly burnt. Does anyone know about this problem and can help me what it could be? Many thanks in advance

The error code you're seeing is related to the Valvetronic system in your car, which controls the amount of air being let into the engine. This system can fail due to wear and tear or due to a software issue. The louder engine noise and burnt smell from the exhaust could be symptoms of this. I would recommend starting with a software update for your car's Engine Control Unit (ECU) as this can sometimes resolve the issue. If the problem persists, it's likely a mechanical issue with the Valvetronic system and you should have it inspected by a professional mechanic. Please keep us updated on your progress and let us know if you have any further questions.
Hi, I had similar problems with my 2004 BMW 5 Series. I also had the check engine light on, the car was running rough and there was jerking when accelerating. At the last workshop visit, they found that the camshaft and the Valvetronic system had to be replaced. This was not good news, as it was a serious defect that could have caused serious damage. Fortunately, we caught it early and repaired it. Hope this helps you. All the best
