Hi I have just bought a rrs as a non runner for my sins lol it has codes for the cam sensor and the turbo actuator does anyone know if the two are related or just coincidence that they are both on also I am not sure if I change the cam sensor will allow me to drive it back please help

A cam sensor fault code could mean the cambelt is slack. 2007 models are particularly prone.

See if the tensioner has tried to escape the belt cover at the front drivers side

Thank you do you know if the turbo code would be related or a separate issue

Oh I also forgot tho say the codes it is throwing up are P138E-21 & P0341-29 and it is a 2008 does that make a difference

Turbo code unrelated. VVT common to sieeze up. (Usually free them up to get some more life out of them )

2008 also prone to belt tensioner problems.

I doubt you will be driving it home!

Well that's what I get for hopeful thinking lol what would I be looking for on the tensioner is it bearing or internal spring that is prone to going do you know also at the risk of sounding stupid what is a vvt in regards to the turbo I only know it as variable valve timing

The tensioner is bolted to the oil pump.
The bracket on the oil pump breaks off.
So you need to fit the updated oil pump and fix whatever damage has been done to the valves in the head. Either new valve lifters or second hand heads.

Turbo least of your problems. Look up vvt on YouTube. It’s the way it controls the boost, rather than a wastegate

That sounds wonderful hopefully it is ok or if it has gone it has been caught in time hopefully I haven't just bought one that is going to cost hundreds to fix but these are the games we play when we buy spares or repairs lol when I manage to get it back I will have a look and let you know the results thank you for helping me and responding so quickly

Sadly these tdv6 engines are prone to failure.
If it’s not one thing it’s another

I know I have taken a gamble but It was cheap and hopefully will still be cheaper than repairing my bmw pos lol that thing has turbo issues and countless module and electrical issues and you never know I might just get lucky are you a lr mechanic or just had to learn because you own them lol I have seen alot of your posts and you seem very knowledgeable about them

Had to learn

Hahaha you have to with these or no one would be able to keep them on the road

Bit of a random one I don't suppose anyone has a trailer i could borrow
