Variators issue can happen to any year. Older more prone to fail. But most importantly is how was the vehicle driven and maintained.

2013 and later cars don't have the issue. The issue was corrected in earlier cars during the 2011 model year. There are lists out there of specific engines that are affected by the issue. If you're buying a 2013 or later you're safe.

It's the variators. Thats their symptoms. It's not the chain the issue. It's up to you how much you want to spend but I would replace variators, tensioners, and guides... chain only if it has damage. I would do it asap since it it's only going to get worse to the point where it will be running rough all the time... misfire... and or go on limp mode.

The strange thing is that these cam caps already have got check valves to prevent variators from starving(I guess it was already modified) during cold starts. It should solve the problem with failing variators, but as we can see it didn't help. Am I right?

From what I have heard is that in the east side in US there was a shop doing the caps but they didnt do a good job as the company that used to do it for Maserati which is located in cali. When removed the check valve ring was broken so I had them re done and so far it has been fine. But I dont think it was the best fix. I did a quattroporte but did not get check valves done and it's been working just as good.

Hey man I don’t know if you’ll see this but I’m tackling one of these right now and am wondering if you removed the chain before you changed the gear . I’ve taken the tensioner and guides off and I really don’t feel like manipulating the cams to change the tension side of the chain. I guess even taking the gear off things will shift anyway.

@@b.s.772 thanks for the reply! I managed to get it it up and running with no issues other than the wrong variators being given to us the first time which led to some pretty nasty thrust on the cams. Good thing I caught it before the cover went back on. But yeah not bad really once you figure out what’s up.
