Please keep us posted!  MY04 Cayenne-S now 150K miles and only P0016 left. It idles rough and losing power. Good luck!

Replaced both cam adjuster solenoids, both valve lift solenoids, adjusted camshaft timing so that both relucter wheels were at the same angle....no more P0016. No DTCs at all.

Thanks for the sharing and info. I really went into this P0016 for a while and tried alot to fix it. I believe I am in the worse scenario is with the bank1 timing chain stretched. 

 

I have actually changed the bank1 actuator solenoid and camshaft sensor but no help. 

 

Any info to adjust the timing or change the chain without pulling engine? Thanks!

Not sure if this thread is dead or not but just wanted to add that I too have been dealing with a P0016 on my MY09 GTS. 100k miles exactly on the clock.  After doing a lot of research and consulting with techs and specialists, this weekend I’m going to reset the timing for both banks and change all the timing and valve lift actuator solenoids. I’ve already changed both cam and crank sensors. I had even bridged the cam position sensors together to only read from Bank 2 and instead of P0016, I got P0172 for valve lift control, as well as Misfire Cyl 3. I think those codes were hiding as a P0016 code as the ECU just generically “diagnosed” the engine’s roughness. After everything is completed, I will report back with my results.
