Initially I cleaned the solenoids, checked that they were functioning, then replaced the seals and finally replaced the solenoids. I am now fairly sure it is the eccentric shaft causing my problems...

Replaced the purge valve hose but that made no difference but given the damage I suppose it needed to be replaced. I found that when I disconnected the input solenoid on the right hand bank the 29cc...

When investigating with my Foxwell NT510 scanner I found some “active” tests you could do which I assumed enabled you to turn various settings/solenoids on and off. I found some tests you could do...

When I say “swapped” I mean swapped position to see if the error code changed but it didn’t, still 29cc and 29cd (cylinder 1 misfire, multiple misfires). Mine idles fine but is definitely more...

Any progress on this issue? I have had it on my x5 since I bought it 3 years ago. It’s the last error that shows up on my scanner and it really niggles me that I can’t get rid of it.

I think I disagree. Should not be able to see rings and you should push them into the bore first. They go in to a step about 10mm in so there is no way that you should be able to see them. ...
