Checked both could the codes mean something else? Already checked air pump control valve, and vacuum lines.

If you weren't getting vacuum to operate teh valve then that could be it. We dont 'have any good drawings/placements of that part. All we have is a typical type thing with nothing for your car. BMW and Merecedes like to look you into their dealers so they only give very basic stuff.
