It's got a chain inside the engine,pretty much rule that out, unless it's been rattling when cold. Is that cam or crank sensor? Did you change them? I would start with faults that have shown.

If memory serves me right, there is no timing marks. The camshaft is locked into position with a special tool. The crankshaft is also locked into position with a special tool ( at the flywheel end ).
When you have these 2 tools located into position........that's it...................Engine timing done.
When you get a minute, you could check if they line up.
Hope this helps.

If the chain has slipped usually caused by the guide snapping, shouldn't be that bad, doesn't usually bend valves. Snap's the rockers £84 for a set although you will still need gaskets, chain,t tensioner. If everything else checks out might be worth it. You don't mention the age and mileage so it's hard to say.

Go for it!!! It should be ok. If the chain has slipped, I'd assume the cam sensor is out of line, and that's why you'd get the cam fault code.
As already mentioned, the rocker gives way. Happened to relation not too long ago. Got the parts that were needed, put all back together,
and is going like a dream ever since.
