Fault codes 130716/P1523/p13c9

Had fault codes 130716 p1523 p13c9

changed oil filter and Vanos actuator on exhaust side cleared codes drove for about 30 miles parked overnight then engine light came back while driving to work. I keep clearing the code p13c9 as that’s the only code showing on my reader ( cheap one) going to do an oil change then look at changing the camshaft sensor anyone came across this??

It’s linked to the vanos sensor. 
but firstly, check the oil cap is the correct one and there should be an insert in it.

Changed the oil filter insert was fine

Morning David 

I think Stu was referring to the Oil Filler Cap not the Oil Filter

Depending on how competent you are with spanners the codes you have indicate Vanos issues it could be just the sensor or it could be the actual vanos mechanism is sticking. Clearing a code doesn't fix an issue just resets it, if replacing the Vanos Sensor doesn't fix the problem the the Vanos mechanism needs removing cleaning and servicing new seals etc. If not you need a Garage/Mechanic who can do the work for you
