Do NOT believe that code. This code quite often is caused because of something other than the camshaft. It may simply be an open circuit and NOT the actuator being faulty. The mechanic should have told you this if he knows anything about the variocam system. If the P1539 code is acurate and the cam is not shifting, you will be able to tell by the performance of the engine when you get on it above 3000 rpm's. There will be a noticable loss in power at higher rpm's. If there is no perfromance loss, ithe actualor is working and the problem is in the wiring or the sensor on bank 2.
