Vvt motor relay

[Whingell73]

Hello all,
Recently inherited my sons 2006 z4 with a vvt motor problem and just checking the fuse in engine bay and noticed theres a fuse socket with space for 5 fuses all empty, out of curiosity would any one know what they would for for.
Also is there a relay for the vvt motor and which one is it.
Thanks in advance for any help

Sorted the fuses. Doh!
Still would like to know which relay for the vvt motor though

Found the relay, just saved myself best part of 300 at the garge and it still would not of fixed it. Only cost £6 worth of electrical contact cleaner and £2 worth of kitchen roll.

Whoever installed vvt motor forced it in and the pushed the the cog over, not sure thats the technical name for it.when i removed vvt motor it released the pressure,simply reinstalled it whilst turning the spindle. Replaced valve cover ,cleaned cam sensor connectors and runs brilliantly.
