Vanos issues?

Well guys this morning I started up the car and had horrible cold start up almost if it was running on half the cylinders and soon after the DTM came up. Got around to checking the codes and I had these:
131601 Vanos exhaust 2, cold start not controllable
120408 charging pressure control: switch off as consequence
120908 charging pressure control 2: switch off as consequence

cleared out the code and tried to start again and wallah, she came right up to full song... Opened up the hood and noticed an extra tick coming from the passenger side bank and when I opened the oil fill cap and the tick was quite loud.
I decided then that this was best not left to me and I took it to a well renowned car mechanic in my area. I warned them about my worries of a bent rod from the ticking noise and they looked it over. After some time they decided that they believe my issue is the vanos solenoid and assured me that they are confident there isn't a bent rod. I guess my question is if you guys think that those solenoids could be causing that tick and if anyone has had similar issues could maybe weigh in? thanks for any help you might have.
