I understand you have no codes anymore ? I'd start by cleaning and swapping the Vanos sensors (see DIY section, easy work).
Then use 2 cans of techtron in 2 different fill ups. Dirty injectors are a nightmare with the ethanol fuel we have now. If no improvements after the techtron, you may need new injectors.

THanks for the suggestion there mate. I will have to take a look at trying to cleaning it.
I was told that using fuel additives was not a good idea? I guess at the end of the day if they're screwed, they'll need to be replaced anyway...
I will take a video as well of the engine sound to see if its the same.. from the last few videos I've seen, the sound I'm having is a bit different.. thoughit could be because the ones I've seen are 6 cyl and I only have a 4.
