A while ago my engine suddenly started having a rough idle (under 900rpm), and more notably rough running when steering to the right.
Zero fault codes in INPA and all adaptations, fuel trimmings and rough running tests show good results.
After the issue appeared I replaced the coils, vanos solenoids and checked for vacuum leaks, but there was no change, spark plugs were changed last year.
Could this be an issue with an engine mount? -or maybe a faulty injector that isn't detected by inpa?
Just looking for ideas for what to check and previous experiences if any, hoping this isn't a result of internal damage to the motor :/

I don't know about it being engine mounts. Mine was bad vibration which made me change mine. What did you do to check for vacuum leaks a smoke test. How old is your valve cover? Is it leaking. You're in a corner without codes. No need to replace parts without one. Also pull Map sensor to see if it changes. Make sure air filter is clean and not clogged with leaves.

No change after unplugging map sesnor, put it on my quickjack today and noticed it doesnt run rough when steering to the right, but rather when the car is leaning to the left in corners.
