I've done a pedal test, code 001161 showed up.
I recently had a replacement used engine, should this error be occurring? Or should it have been dealt with?

Hello,

P0011 61 Intake Camshaft Phasing Mechanics Range/Performance (Bank 1).

A good video:

Suggest to first check oil level and oil quality as this could affect the operation of either solenoid valve.
If in order you could swap left and right-side solenoids and see if fault moves to the exhaust side, giving P0014.

Cheers, Boris
