Finally replaced my cracked valve cover after a few attempt at jb weld and kept cracking the jb i gave in .. No considering it was a significant leak my plugs and coils were just drenched in oil.. I cleaned out the spark plug seats at best as i could with a shop vac.. Attached to a funnel attached to a vacuum hose to get down in there.. But im still going into limp mode but throwing no codes .. Car seems very hesitant and like its not hitting full boost .. This no code thing is really screwed ..

Welp after driving home i realized it only starts to happen when the engines over about 230 f.. Considering its heat related ill put my money on the plugs ..

Where do I see the crack near? Cylinder 3? Can you see it by just taking the engine cover off?

whats the code ? Did u hook all the vaccum lines up though unrelated to temp, my Vanos used to act up at higher temps, maybe remove them and clean with brake parts cleaner, did it for me

The thing is im not throwing any codes .. Keeps going into limp mode but no cell.. Weird.. But im going to pull my vanos solenoids tmr and clean them and see if that does the trick

Cleaned vanos and coils.. No change car still goes limp .. Sometimes pulls great while cold other times it doesnt matter and it will just go no where .. Like very little boost.. And other times its a bat outa hell ..the laggy no boost feel is def more persistent tho

After changing my valve cover I kept getting misfires so I changed my plugs and misfires went away for a while but came back so then I changed my coils all is well for now lol
