Good afternoon, gents! I am seeking a little advice here. I am more of a 3-series enthusiast, however I own a 130i now. (70k miles)
The car has some symptoms:
* ticking noise from valvetrain area
* occasional misfire and shivers
so I went to a friend, he has a professional diagnostics tool (he sells them to garage franchises)
First I was reviewing "Idling Quality" data stream, here it is:

And all of the sudden "pop!" the revs jumped to 900 and the "check engine" line came on.

So I quickly did the "health scan" and found this
2A38 Valvetronic motor fault: Sluggish movement or Open circuit.

I would like to assume that is a fault in the motor itself only however I am concerned that in valve timing the trouble does not come alone.
Thank You for the attention!
