Have a fault code of 283D Vanos exhaust adaption stop
No power, idles very lumpy and when driven, very loud induction noise. Fault code clears and returns after three or four drive cycles, however symptoms always present.
Have cleaned and swapped VVT solenoids around, car seems to go well for a mile and then it goes flat and sounds like valve timing wrong, until ignition switched off and engine restarted. Solenoid gauzes were packed with crap! Nice clear signals from both cam sensors.
Engine oil has been changed recently. No adaption reset available with my Snap On Modis ultra.
Any ideas? Computer obviously doesn't like something it's seeing and goes into a loss until restarted.

I would check timing chain and tensioner as the chain could have jumped slightly so the Vanos realises it can't adjust the timing of the engine because it's out of it's limits..   |

After looking into it, I think that's a known problem!
Oh dear!

Chain easy enough to do on these?

Timing chain stretched on this little gem. All back together and running sweet Monkey out of interest what's the mileage on the Mini Cooper as I am hearing more and more about engine rattle due to defective chain or chain tensioner.  MINI UK aren't accepting that there is an issue with the Timing Chain Tensioner yet there are lots of owners complaining all over the forums about these. |

It's about 70k if I remember right. Cooper S seem to have major issues but the cooper not so much info on.
Same engine I suspect though.

Chain easy enough to do on these? No, bit of a nightmare to be honest. I wouldn't do another. The tooling is mega bucks, I borrowed a timing kit which turned out to be the wrong one. Made something work out of a few different kits I have! |

Made something work out of a few different kits I have! Nice one That puts that idea out window then Had one one yesterday with lumpy running Found no oil on dipstick Had exhaust vanos fault Got the car at 4 and she was at workshop at ten past 5 wanting it back. Told her I think chain issue. She called in today to say it's running fine. But we'll see. Looks like be getting sent else where. Unless some else had the tool local |

Hi all I have been having a problem with a r56 mini one 1.4 fault code 2845 VANOS ACTUATOR MOVEMENT, OR P0015 ON P CODES. FOUND THE PROBLEM TODAY and if you have the same ie start up engine lumpy for a while 10. 20 seconds then suddenly seems ok. Get your checkbook out and work hard for a few months. There is no fault on the vanos actuator (which is the timing cog on the exhaust cam) there is no fault on any electrical components, there is a big fault in design of the cam system. for the vanos to work on this engine oil pressure is key, the pump is ok but not great the problem is feeding oil to the exhaust vanos (sprocket on the cam) it also lubricates the bearing ( cam carrier cap next to the timing ) wear causes the bearing seal ( metal on metal ) to fail, pressure takes a while to build up on start up thus causing the fault code, over rotation of cam timing p0015. If you have this prob remove rocker cover take of exhaust bearing cap next to sprocket if you have wear, sit down for next bit. BUY A NEW CYLINDER HEAD, OR IF UNDER WARRENTY GET RID TAKE THE MILEAGE PENALTY. IF YOU KNOW A FRIEND WHO HAS A MINI OR ANYONE WHO HAS, PLEASE TELL THEM TO REJECT OR SELL IF OUT OF WARRENTY .pS PEUGEOT 207 HAS THE SAME ENGINE SAME PROBLEMS BUT PARTS ARE 60/70% CHEEPER IE GOT STUNG FOR EXHAUST VANOS 1.4 FOR £300.19+ VAT BOUGHT BOTH AT PEUGEOT DEALER £90 INC VAT PEUGEOT TIMING KIT INC ALL COGS SEALS £226 ALL IN INC VAT. HOPE THIS HELPS FOLKS. TEXT IF YOU NEED INFO. 07849778143 PLEASE DONT PHONE.

From the three faults above, I think you have drawn the correct conclusion there; timing-chain, tensioner, oil quality.
There are bound to be a few slight differeces between these in terms of which codes get logged first, but the end-result is the same, strip-down, clean, rebuild with new chain/tensioner kit.
