Hi I recently bought a second hand car it's throwing a p0017 code correlation code on bank 1 exhaust and everyone I talk to said timing chain has stretched and is bad. They were done 12000km ago full kit with gears. So I enquire at the shop that did the job and they say the engine came in with the worst engine oil slugd3 and contamination they have seen so they did 3 times oil fill and drain and filters and then clogs with sludge and throws code 1 week later they they clean and send him on his way no problem for a year and 12000km I buy it then boom p0017 running bad at idle and smelling like fuel and exhaust fumes only runs bad at low rpm and idle is it possible that the cam phaser on bank one is bad and causing the sludge and timing issue? Any ideas? I'm down alot of money here.
