New to me 2011 mcs @ 111k p052b code vanos issue?
I checked the oil and pulled the top cover to inspect
everything this morning, left the cover off ( I usually remove these in my cars so I can see what's going on easier ) after seeing everything is fine. I start to drive and we get an error code p052b. The car seems to be running perfect, I think it's possible the exhaust is louder but cant confirm as I've only had it for 3 days. It also smells a little rich some times ( never had a turbo car could be normal?) Drove it about 100 miles and drives fine power is right there on demand climbs
hills like a eager mountain goat led by a sherpa. Idles smooth. Shifts smooth, accelerating perfect. If the code never popped I'd think nothing was wrong.
Looking around seems vanos selonid is the culprit, I'm posting because I read that the car goes in to limp mode when this code pops up. Driving that much I can safely say that she is not limping at all.
Before spending 100 on parts want to make sure that's the issue
any assistance would be great
