Fault codes help

So I recently read the fault codes on my 2006 330i. This is what comes up:

DME:
29F4 Catalytic converter conversion, bank 1
29F5 Catalytic converter conversion, bank 2
2AAC Variable intake system 2, self-diagnosis
2A87 Variable camshaft timing (VANOS) exhaust, mechanism

MRS:
93A9 Belt tensioner, driver
93AD Side airbag, front right

Now the car has been decatted so I accept that the first 2 codes will be there. My question is with regards to the Vanos and DISA faults. I did try and clean out the solenoids but it didn't make any difference so I guess I will have to replace the solenoid. I have read that this could also be causing the error code for the DISA. Is this plausible? Any advice on that code will be appreciated.

Next to tackle the airbag light. The airbag light recently came on. i have tried resetting this with INPA but it does nothing. The light remains on. How do I get rid of this? it is annoying to have that light on and the warning tone everytime I start and switch off the car.

You can check the disa yourself.
Usually the the flap wears out the shaft spline and starts rotating freely. Also the seal on the shaft gets worn and lets a crap load of oil into the disa unit.
Take out the disa and have a look at it. interwebs are filled with info on how to check N52 disa...
