VANOS codes 2C58, 2D54, 2D60 - Limp mode
My wifes 2014 All4 went into limp mode and had three codes:
- 2C58 - Charging Pressure Control - switch off as consequence (I assume this is limp mode)
- 2D54 - Variable camshaft timing control (VANOS), exhaust, cold start not controllable
- 2D60 - VANOS, Exhaust control fault. Camshaft stuck
- 2C58 - Charging Pressure Control - switch off as consequence (I assume this is limp mode)
- 2D54 - Variable camshaft timing control (VANOS), exhaust, cold start not controllable

That would be a good way to troubleshoot the exhaust solenoid. If the problem goes away, you know that's what the problem was. If it was me, I would get a new solenoid for the exhaust side. In fact, it was me last fall. I had the same "exhaust, cold start not controllable" fault, and decided to replace both and called it maintenance.

I am assuming the issues I have in this thread are very similar.

I have ordered two solenoids. When they come in I will change them and see if that corrects the issue. Just in case, I also ordered two cam position sensors as well. All low $$ parts so like you said, maintenance.

Hi there. What was the result of your changing the second VANOS solenoid? Did that resolve your problem. I have the same 3 errors as you and I already replace both VANOS solenoids. I'm wondering now if the replacement was defective.

I am in the same boat, I did both solenoids and a full timing job and I am still getting these codes! Any update?

I can't believe you did the timing and still have these codes. That's discouraging. I did a smoke test on the weekend and found that the vent hose had a slight leak so we pushed it in a bit harder until we heard a click. Then no more smoke from there or anywhere else, so I have to rule out a leak. I already have the cam sensors so I'll replace those next. I'll let you know what happens after that.

I'm getting them as well now. Not always, not sure exactly how to reproduce. I have replaced the solenoids and cam sensors and have the timing chain tensioner coming as about the last thing I can do myself. I was thinking of taking off the top cover to see what the timing chain looks like. It appears there is a tool also to measure stretch from the hole for the tensioner.

Dealer recommended I replace both VANOS sprockets along with new solenoids, chain, guids, and tensioner...for $4,500. I declined since the only thing I had not done on my end was the sprockets. So today I changed those and re-timed the engine and I am STILL GETTING 2D5A: Intake camshaft stuck. I am basically out of parts to replace so I have no idea what is going on.

Awesome good news, I just replaced the Solenoid (again) also and my codes went away. There was some gunk on the screen of it. I will also have to start changing the oil more regularly on this thing.

Since it's been a year, how is now? Still good?
#17
Is yours still good as well? I'm going to look at mine again as well. I think I put in Standard Motor Products solenoids last year, and now I see I should have put in Pierburgs. I wonder if that's the problem? I still get a 2D54 code randomly at some point after I start the car - usually when I accelerate on the highway - but once I clear it, it usually goes away, and doesn't come back on until sometime after the next startup. Did you change the VANOS sprockets too?

As to oil changes, 4500 miles seems OK, but you can literally never change your oil too much so if you want to shorten that interval that would not hurt.
