How To Replace VVT / Vanos Solenoid Citroen DS5 1.6 THP 155, (DS3, DS4, Peugeot 3008, 5008 etc)
Read full description please: No nonsense guide on replacing the Variable Valve Timing / Vanos Solenoid in Prince engines. This one is a Citroen DS5 with the 1.6 THP, EP6. I assume this will be very similar on the Citroen DS3, Peugeot 3008, and potentially Mini and BMW N12/N14 engines, although they may have a front solenoid too.
It's in a tricky spot with not much room to maneuver or see. I highly recommend having a camera of some sort to help, whether it's a phone or ideally an endoscope.
Sometimes you can get away with just cleaning the old one with brake cleaner, but given the annoyance it is to replace it I highly recommend just buying a new one.

"Oil pressure from the oil pump goes into a solenoid valve on the engine block. This valve controls the oil pressure that reaches the cam phaser. The cam phaser is the adjusting mechanism which controls intake cam timing. The cam timing changes depending on the oil pressure inside the cam phaser.
The whole system after the cam oil pressure solenoid valve is purely mechanical. There are no pressure sensors providing feedback about what goes on into the cam timing mechanism with regards to oil. Which means it can cause undetectable trouble when something malfunctions.
Sometimes the solenoid valve gets contaminated with dirt that accumulates from the oil residues over time. This leads into the system getting stuck and feeding less or more pressure into the camshaft. This valve sits next to the hydraulic chain tensioner - intake side."

Just like a BOSS!!!... the one on my RCZ is leaking oil... this video helps me loads. Super gluing the small bolt to the torx was genius. On my GT the torx was a T30.

The one on my 208 is also leaking oil. I spend lot of time to discover the spot of leak 😅.
Best video about replacing the bloody solenoide on the peugeot 308 engine
I only need to remove the top turbo intake pipe to remove the solenoid. I used a piping clip to clamp on a steel wire shaped into "U" as a handle on top of the solenoid for the ease of pulling it out with the screw still attached to the solenoid. To install, it is best to put the screw through the bracket of the solenoid first, and put them in at the same time. You need to align the screw in a straight line with your eye level - eye, solenoid and screw in a straight line.
Got P0015 & P0017 - On my Peugeot 208 GTi , which according to most videos I've looked at and forums I've read point to dirty oil and this valve being the issue , looks a right pain in the ass to change out but needs must

Cars drives fine if I clear the codes , makes this ticking noise on idle though and has rough idle atm
Thanks for the very detailed guide!
Getting that torx screw out is bloody difficult. You 😮
Nice job. 👌
Ami canbiar esto de mi 308 vti 1.6 120cv me arreglo el problema del relenti que subia y bajaba solo nadamas ponerle una de desguace conprobada 60€ todo bien al instante y los tironeos tanbien se quitaron a bajas reboluciones
Bingo! Thanks for sharing!
DS4 user here. It will be an absolute nightmare to reach this place... What faults did you get on the reader to change it? I get P 0087 and P1030. Great video, thanks!

Yes it's not a very fun replacement. It's been a couple of years since I did this job, I believe there were codes related to vanos timing? It may be the cause of your issues, but also the VVT cam sprocket is known to wear. If you aren't able to do more advanced diagnostics then this is certainly the cheaper part to try replacing first.
what are the symptoms with this failed part? also do you have any experience with excessive oil burn and consumption?

A rough idle is probably the most common, followed by lowered engine power, and rough acceleration. Sometimes the CEL will come on, other times there might be fault codes for it that don't trigger the CEL. How much oil is yours using? These engines are known to use quite a bit in between oil changes, 1 litre per 5000km is common and ok. If it starts to use closer to 1 litre per 1000km then you may need to check engine compression. Valve seals and piston rings are common causes. Also make sure you are using a high quality full synthetic 5w30 oil, other types can make the issue worse.

What would be a sign of a bad VVT. I have replaced coils, plugs, crankshaft sensor. However, my 1.6 thp ds5 still goes into limp mode often. Not sure if i should fix this or the HPFP. P0087 fault code keeps coming back.

What happened to your P1336 and P1340 codes? Did you resolve them? P0087 would point towards the HPFP but it's not certain, it could be other things like fuel filter, low pressure pump etc. Are you able to read out live fuel pressure data? A PEA based injector cleaner might be a good idea too.

@@HeroRepairsthe fuel filter is built-in in some/or maybe all DS4s (just an additional comment towards the P0087 error code 😢) Also, it seems very difficult to find a new low pressure pump in stores. Is this really the case and why do you think that is?

@HeroRepairs great video. I just got a CEL today after starting the car and it having really rough idle. Codes P1336, P1337 and P1340 came up. I cleared the codes and the car drove fine afterwards. Any idea what could be the problem? I changed valve stem seals and full timing kit (OEM) a few weeks back and I've driven around 1000 km's since. This same issue came up a few months back when I first got thr car so I'm wondering if the solenoid needs to be cleaned or changed?
I believe mine has a solenoid on the front too. Are these the same parts?

Some variants have 1, some have 2. They all have the one at the back like in the video, so you can easily check the front of the engine to see if yours has a second solenoid.
