Does anyone know if the cable that plugs into the camshaft magnetic adjuster is 2 pin or 3 pin? I want to replace the existing plug and cable as I am pretty sure this is causing an intermittent fault.Both the camshaft oil control valve and the magnetic adjuster have been replaced .

Update- I spliced in a magnetic adjuster cable acquired from a scrap engine and once the magnetic adjuster was also replaced the engine now operates normally. This is after a year and a half of messing around and no-one being able to diagnose the fault-however, the valve timing still lags in the low rpm range. Not a problem , just noticeable compared to the higher rpm range

Thanks for the feedback, but this question might have received an answer if you'd specified which engine your car has... That info is also very relevant if somebody ever wants to use your feedback info.
