Thanks man! Easy. Great design.

Thank you for sharing this information, I have a BRZ and I use the OEM oil filter but want to use the same tall oil filter on that car. What filter was on that car?

Hey so I have an fb20 and I think these oil control valves are bad it’s the last thing I’ve narrowed it down to but wanted your opinion or advise on what type of noise it would make if they were bad. My car at idle doesn’t make the noise only around 2-4K rpm and only one side it sounds like I have no oil like valve slap but only one valve and if I run through a gear hard it won’t make it only used like light load it’ll make the sound which confuses me or if I rev it when it peaks and starts to drop when load leaves so I’m pretty stumped. Took off valve covers all the lash seems writhing spec for mileage so I’m either going to buy a new motor bc I don’t want to dump more money into it and not find the issue when I can get an engine for 600$ and swap myself then rebuild it... so maybe you can help??

Looked easy enough thanks for the video

Wondering if this would resolve a P0011 code. Engine doesn't stall, no rough idle, oil is changed recently, car doesn't run rough at all.

Great vid thanks man!

Great video! Thanks

Hello @subtledriver, how did you dignose to change this part? was CEL P000?

Do I have to replace the camshaft sensor at long with the oil valve ?

Long shot but. What do we call that White sensor thing on the left. The one next to the copper color thing. Thanks.

Is this a 2.0L? The same engine as the 2013 Subaru Crosstrek XV?

great job on the video

It looks like my issue, the entire plastic connector with the copper wires inside was deteriorating, i went to pull it out and half the plug stayed in the VVT. I'll buy a new one and replace it. My car runs and likely uses more gas until i fix it, it won't leave me dead on the side of the road.

Hello so what exactly was the issue? i get a strong ratteling noise from that part of the vvt. Only when the engine is warm. i dont get any errors when i run a diagnosis with the computer.

Did you get a CEL which led you to replace this sensor?

What issues were you having? I'm guessing 1500-2500 rpm engine stumble

Where can I get that o ring and plastic spacer at or will it come with the part?

Wondering for the bottom sensors (bank 1 and 2 -exhaust) can be replaced without draining the oil?

Have an 86; have a spare engine; did an engine swap and got a P000c reading? Replaced the part using the original engine (I know it's not advised but the original didn't have any error codes; just a spun bearing) Still have the code. The problem is the car doesn't limp like it's advised to should have. Really don't want to crack open the timing chain cover to find the problem but if i have to that really sucks.

The other part right underneath this one that looks the same, does it go by the same name?

I got a P000A code. Will this fix it?

Question so drive with the cel on?

Idk if you can help but: I have a P0020 check engine light on for the cam sensor for bank 2 sensor A. I’ve tried replacing the sensor and checked all others, Cleared the codes and so on. Check engine light goes away and comes back on. What else could it be? Possibly worth noting, the check engine light for this code did not come on until after we replaced the slave cylinder and clutch, is there anything we could have missed, unplugged, or etc that could be causing the issue?

I recently built a new engine for a 2013 that I got that had a spun rod bearing. When I started the car with the new engine I noticed after it warmed up it dropped to a low idle, the throttle became twitchy, wanted to stall and had the check engine light and slip light on. I put a scan tool on it and I have 4 codes p0102 - Mass or Volume air flow circuit low input, p0113 - Intake air temp circuit high input, p0017 - Crankshaft position camshaft position correlation bank 1 sensor b and P219a - Bank 1 Air-fuel imbalance. All four codes are marked permanent. When I delete them they are immediately there again once the scan tool rescans without ever starting the engine. So curious why I would get and p219a code without ever starting the engine? I tested the vvt solenoid and it checks out. It operates on 12 volts, ohms at 8.4, no continuity when grounded, I also checked the power to the plug and am getting 10v with the battery at 12v. Not sure if 10v is the correct voltage at the plug though? I also checked the ocv behind the solenoid and the button is sprung and seems to be working. Trying to avoid pulling the front cover to replace a ocv if possible.

Hey Subtledriver, I was researching for days trying to understand my code P000A (Camshaft position slow response bank 1) on December 2018 but after after one week the CEL disappeared. I decided not to address it. Perhaps a mistake. Now, March 2019, I’ve been on a mission researching code P000B which I understand to be the same problem just a different position (A & B) on the engine. I have very VERY little knowledge about cars and how they work but I’m trying my best to learn. Scion FRS is my first vehicle I work on. I’m trying to learn and do most of the work myself since I no longer trust Toyota to have knowledge to do the job correctly. Will the method you used in this video help me with my codes P000A (which no longer appears, but wouldn’t mind addressing) and my current P000B? Also, I took a look at my engine very carefully I noticed I have four of these, what I now I’ve learn to be Actuators. I’m assuming because the engine has four cylinders. Would it best to only change two of these but all four? Thanks in advance. And I apologizing for long message and my ignorance in the question and statements I made, again I’m trying to learn on how cars work. LOL! Thanks again.

Yes, same procedure.

I had P000A, got a new part from oreilley. Dorman. Oil change with 0w20 & an aftermarket filter. problem went away for about 3 days, then came back. I ignored it for a month. I then swapped the the solenoids, and the code followed; P000A --> P000C. Ok, so to me, this is confirmation it's the part at fault. So, My dumbass ordered another Dorman part from Oreilley. Changed out the part, and just kept it in the same spot of P000C vs swapping again. I did an Oil change with 0w-20, with a new a Subaru brand filter. This time I left the drain plug out and ran a quart of oil through in hopes it'd clear out any extra debris/gunk. After the reinstall, I reconnected my battery (which resets the codes/clears CEL), scanned and P000C was listed as "historic". After about 4 or 5 days, the code returned; P000C. Should I just bite the bullet, and redo this procedure with a Subaru brand VVT? Is there anything someone would recommend else I can do? Hitting my head against the wall.

there is a difference between first year 2012/13/14 vs 2015 and up the parts have been revised many times and old part numbers superseded. 0w20 is what we race on the track with in 100 degree weather, its also how the factory robot built motors are built for. the variable valve timing system doesnt like too thick of oil, or it wont flow properly in the small passages. too think of an oil will cause internal engine damage. I would not even switch the solenoid, i would try the factory oil first and see what happens. my customers get vvt codes if they run too thick of an oil. so keep that in mind. too thick will also cause overheating and drag/ loss of power. so unless the bearing clearance and vvt passages were set up for slow moving/oldschool engine oils, i would try factory fill (will not damage anything unless you abuse the hell out of it) and see what happens. if there is still a problem, you need to take it up with your builder. you need to ask if they used updated parts, or old problematic parts.

This man didn’t give any part number nor code.
