I've just had a look through a log and it's showing both cams staying at -10 no matter where the rpm or load is.

 

The cam error is mostly less than 1 degree but occasionally a bit more, regardless of rpm and load.

 

Anyhow I've got another set of solenoids and phasers here so I'll see what happens when I swap them.

So to have both Phasers fail together is less likely but possible and would show a static angle as described.

 

Start with the solenoids first.

 

The cam angle should vary more than  -10 for sure.

Replacing both Phasers is a bit of work.

Ensure no oil flow restrictions to the phasers first. Inspect cam caps on top of each phasers for blockages. Obviously the OCV screens were clean.

 

Phasers can make noise when they are stuck too.

 

Good luck mate

Well as much as I didn't want to leave an update like this, here it is anyway.

 

Exhaust cam is toast, intake cam is fine.

 

Will be pulling the engine to assess any further damage.
