My 2011 CM ALL4 threw a P0015 code today after getting gas.. it has thrown a code before but always cleared before I could get home to hook up my reader. The car is well maintained and has 117k miles on it.. any thoughts or suggestions, should I replace the cam sensor or take it in to get the timing checked.. from searching that is all I could find, but no one ever followed up with what the issue was.. thanks in advance!

Possibly Vanos sensor? Are they original, maybe clogged. Mine were bad at 35000 miles. The newer versions have screens to keep them clear of debris. Worth pulling and checking.

 

Well dropped car off at dealer tonight.. as I was driving the check engine light went off twice for a few minutes than came back on.. fingers crossed it is the sensor, vanos, or timing tensioner.

 

Could be VANOS as P0015 with MINI FC code 0x2D61 is VANOS, exahust: Closed-loop control fault, position not reached. 0x2845 is 'B' camshaft position timing over-retarded (bank 1) and 0x2D60 is VANOS, exhaust: closed-loop control fault, camshaft sticks. Depending on which one you have I've seen VANOS, skipped timing, or camshaft position sensor as the culprit. Report back with your findings!
