My exhaust valve has been stuck open for a few days. When I force it open with Bimmerlink, the valve actuator makes a noise as if it's trying to close the valve, but it doesn't. I checked that the clip connecting the actuator to the valve is in place, and it is. When I run an error check with the OBD, I get these errors. Has anyone ever experienced this? How can I fix it? First of all, the actuator is properly connected. As I mentioned, if I force it open, I hear the internal gears turning, but the valve doesn't close, even though it's properly connected to the actuator with the clip.
