Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video, we show you how to replace the variable cam solenoid on a 2014 Passat. This is a common problem with these cars and can cause rough running, misfires, and other issues. The repair is simple and takes only about 30 minutes. ‪@RastamanBuilds‬ #passat #solenoid

    This video was exactly what I needed to see. All I needed to know was if I could replace and do it myself. It looks like I will be able to! 🙂

    Do we have to drain the oil so it doesn’t spill or can we work on it without draining the oil?

    Hey man, I'm having a lot of trouble busting this thing out. Every video I watch it's done so easy, but mine is locked in. I know it's reverse threaded so it's not that. It just won't budge when I move it, feels like I'm turning the engine trying. Any advice?
