After extensive work on my engine and removing it a second time the DME is still setting a P1531 code (bad bank 1 actuator and/or solenoid).

I am thinking the used solenoid I put in is marginal (even though it ohms out fine) OR perhaps the actuator is bad too. I tried swapping cam sensors and the problem still exists. Wiring tests out good.

Since I have to go under the cam cover a third time in three months, I am going to replace the actuator and solenoid.

If you have a new or used variocam actuator and/or solenoid you would like to part with, let me know.

Preferably if the actuator is used it would be in known good working condition.

996 Carrera 2/4 (1999-01)

P/N 99610505158 1-3 Actuator/Chain tensioner (large metal piece shown below)
P/N 99660590100 1-3 Solenoid (cylindrical thing with the wire hanging out of it)

Update: I've purchased a brand new solenoid - the thing with the wire hanging out of it.

I am still looking for an actuator (chain tensioner), if you might have a spare (new or used).

99610505158 (or 99610505155 or 99610505156 or 99610505157).

Please PM me if you've got one for sale.

Thanks

Was out of town so did not see your posts in time. Just sent you an email. I will sell the new part I have or you can have the old used actuator.
