Know how you feel mate, was in the same situation with garages not being helpful until I had enough and took my s3 to a specialist. I had the same fault code as you and the garage I took it to had diagnosed it as a faulty inlet cam adjuster since my light was only coming on intermittently. He replaced that part and it fixed the issue, been fine ever since (touch wood). I completely understand how you feel with the frustration of garages just fobbing you off especially considering that the issue on my car had came up three weeks in to ownership and the dealer was just a pain in the backside to deal with. Cost me about £100 all in to get sorted, hope this helps. Please let me know how you get on.
