Thanks 👍🙂

@@mrfxr1695 👍

Thanks 👍🙂, I'm glad it helped. These engines are very sensitive to incorrect or dirty engine oil and solenoid valves suffer a lot from it. All the best

All the best👍

Thank you All the best👍

Isn't there a second one on the backside of the motor/engine?

@@jethrosweb yes it is, by the air intake. It is for timing of intake valves. It's a bit harder to get to. P0014 code usually refers to exhaust solenoid valve . I've got one video on the channel where I'm changing valve cover gasket and position of intake solenoid valve is shown there

@@mrfxr1695 thank you captain

One on the back controls variable timing of intake camshaft. As in aware both solenoid valves are identical to each other and share same part number All the best 👍🙂

I'm not sure to be honest. I beleive you mean timing chain and sump. What was the reason for cleaning it? These engines have variable timing and P0014 refers to exhaust cam shaft solenoid valve that is using engine oil to operate . Dirty oil or wrong viscosity can often cause this issue. The best would be to speak to your mechanic and see. It might just be a coincidence

P0014 shows fault/issue with exhaust camshaft position and it is not necessarily sensor's fault. The way it works is as following. Sensor registers the position/angle of camshaft and sends the signal to ECU. ECU commands the solenoid valve to actuate, which should correct camshaft position. Sensor picks up new position and sends signal to ECU. Then ECU adjust command to solenoid as and when necessary, depending on some other sensors around engine). The whole process happens continuously every time engine runs. If ECU receives signal about bad camshaft position and throws a code there are two possibilities. 1/ 99% times it is a solenoid valve issue and it's unable to correct camshaft position 2/ extremely really is a sensor issue, on the way that sends corrupt signal to ECU Most of issues happen when inaccurate engine oil is used or there are too large intervals between oil changes and it causes solenoid valve to get stuck. If after clearing solenoid valve, performing an oil change and clearing engine code the issue doesn't return process that fault wasn't within sensor itself. Solenoid valve can be checked for operation during cleaning ( it either works or not) If valve operates well, and with cleaning enginee code doesn't resolve , then sensor would be the suspect I hope it clarifies All the best 👍

@mrfxr1695 Hi. I recently bought the car, and they said it had a full service history. However, it turns out its part service history. It hasn't had a service for 27k miles, which isn't great. I have changed the air filter and also the cabin filter. The fuel filter is a fuel filter for life. I will also fit new spark plugs. It is going in next week to have a service; oil change and filter etc. I did actually remove the VVT solenoid (exhaust side), and cleaned it. I didn't test it's operation though. I have ordered 2 new camshaft position sensors regardless as they are relatively cheap and easy to fit. I will also order 2 new VVT solenoids if needs be as the car is 13 years old.

@mrfxr1695 when you look at a replacement VVT solenoid, it appears that they have changed the design. The solenoid on my car (and yours) only has one filter ring. The newer solenoids all have 3 filter rings. I'm sure they will be fine as the dimensions are same.

@@stuartmcmillan7075 yes you're right, my one has only one filter ring. I never had to replace it, I've just cleaned it and change engine oil and oil filter. I assume they've changed design of replacement valves to better All the best 👍

@@stuartmcmillan7075 Did you buy these items online? And would you tell me where?

Cheers 🙂👍

It's same thing just on the back side of the engine, you'll have to remove air fitter housing

I've also changed oil and oil filter, and it's all good now. Since it's using oil to adjust variable timing it is very sensitive to good oil level, viscosity and cleanliness

@@mrfxr1695 could you tell me which oil did you use Thank-you

I've used 5w30 fully synthetic oil. I'm based in south of England so winter temperatures don't go below -5, if car is used in cold areas below-15 , I would use 0w30 grade for sure

I always try to clean it first and also change engine oil ( dirty or incorrect oil viscosity can cause the issue) All the best 👍

I can't recommend any, but usually you can't go wrong with major brands

Hi, happens the same to me. Have you solved it?

Hi I didn't use brake fluid, I've used brake cleaner because I've run out of carburettor cleaner 👍

@@mrfxr1695 well I meant brake cleaner spray..

Lichidul de curățat carburatoare nu atacă cauciucul? Din clip am văzut soluție de spălată discuri și am procedat și eu la fel a fost ok

Hi here there, yes intake solenoid is literally on opposite side of the engine(back). It looks the same. You'll have to take air filter housing off to access it. It is simple enough, just few more screws If you see my video about head cover gasket replacement, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m5l0i8xm2Luvcac.html it is shown there All the best 👍

Here is the video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m5l0i8xm2Luvcac.html

Thank you so much. Just replaced the solenoid but p0010 still here and the engine doesn't work as it should....

@@herethereandsomewhere6755 have you managed to clear the code with obd diagnostic tool after replacement? Also have you changed engine oil, an old oil can cause malfunctioning of these valves sometimes as well

Hi Mark Yes, same symptoms. Sometimes solenoid needs cleaning and sometimes replacing. You'll have to clear the codes afterwards as well All the best👍

@@mrfxr1695 Thanks for answer! Ok If that will works in my case you will be my hero haha. I let you know :) Have a nice day.

@@mrfxr1695 Hi, I was in the service, for sure I replaced solenoid for new original one and... it helps!!! Thank you so so much, again I have joy when I drive this car. I can't wait for summer when i will open the roof. All the best !

@@mark3556 all the best 👍🙂

Hi As I'm aware that is exhaust solenoid. Inlet solenoid is on other side of the engine closer to firewall. They are identical I hope it helps👍

@@mrfxr1695 thanks for reply!

önce OBD teşhis aracını takıp kodları okumanız gerekecek. Kendiniz yapamıyorsanız, lütfen saygın bir tamirciye götürün. Teşekkür ederim

It's on the valve itself, little mesh filter

You have to clear the codes as well

@@mrfxr1695 after two days, the error dissaparread without erasing the error. everyithing is good now

It is P0014

They both texted to solenoid valve and timing. The valve is very sensitive to old, dirty or incorrect grades of engine oil. Usually, cleaning sorts it out

Reinstalling the solenoid doesn’t click.

How to make sure it’s installed properly It shouldn’t tilt?

I also can't find where the fuel filter is. It is not in the pump, not next to the pump or under the tank.

I believe it is located on top of the tank, next to tank lid (under the rear seat with all wires and hoses ) that could also be a solution for your rev issue

@@mrfxr1695 Thank you so much.

@@vladimirbjelic3442 all the best buddy

@@mrfxr1695 what about variable torque, when engine is cold? I know, many questions, but i think the problem is in the solenoid on shaft or pedal trottle...

Solenoid valve for variable timing of exhaust camshaft 👍
