And yes, VVT has everything to do with valve lift and can be the cause of the noise IMO.
Good luck

The issue is sorted, I changed the valvetronic didn't stop the ticking as I thought. It was the lifters, 5 lifters on the exhaust side had collapsed all 24 where replaced and car runs like new

I've been trying to find a video or instructions on how to change out my lifters but no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
My ticking noise is ridiculous.

That isn't lifters
