How do you know wich one you have to replace? I have p0016 correlation bank 1 sensor A I have seen some people change just 1. You did it with both. How do i know that? Maybe you said it but i dont speak really well so if someone can tell me ill be thankfull 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
My engine is throwing a P0017 code, so that'd be the same issue as this but on the exhaust , passenger side? My local mechanic wants $1200 to do what you did in this video.
I have accident with the car and the radiator support hit the timing cover and broke the timing sensor and along with one bolt of sprocket is broke half inside sprocket and half outside how can the broken bolt be removed from the sprocket
i have to replace these on my car after doing a engine rebuild, ive been told that you need to change the ECU when doing this since the code can cause the ecu to brick and not let the fault clear completely, something with rewriting timing values and not being able to undo them. Not sure if thats true ive never ran into anything like that before (been a tech for 7 years) have you had any issues with this fault code returning after performing this repair?
Can’t say for certain what your problem is exactly but most of the time if it’s not the sensor or solenoid then it’s going to be that VVT cam gear. There’s a technical service bulletin out from Subaru for this problem that goes through this in detail. static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10160490-9999.pdf
@@SkillCollectors thank you I appreciate i toke it to Toyota they replaced and sensor but the problem didn’t go away so I’m pretty sure it has something to do with the timing chain cuz that what the guy at Toyota he said one of the gears might be off center but I don’t know where to get the parts for it yoy video is pretty good explaining so I think I could do it
Great video.! I have a question, I just picked up a 2014 Crosstrek, it is throwing code P000A only, I replaced the Cam shaft sensor(it was actuially chipped on the edge), then test drive and still got the code P000A, so I changed the oil and put in 0W20, and a the proper amount of SeaFoam(High Mileage blend) in the engine oil and the rest in a full tank of fuel, then replaced all 4 VVT Solenoids, just took for a ride, and threw the P000A code Again!!!. Any ideas, I mean the car has 200k miles and I dont think the oil was changed much for the last couple years, based on the black burnt inside the engine oil cap. I'm a little perplexed because I only get the P000A code, and everyone else, you included, gets multiple codes. Am I looking in the right spot for just getting this one code? Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Never ran into this issue but I did a quick search and it sounds like its a problem with the Bank 1 Intake OCV Solenoid. If you've replaced that and the problem is still persisting then the problem may be deeper with the sprocket or oil passages (sometimes the OCV solenoids have a screen filter which could get clogged). Or it could be an electrical issue (corrosion in connector or wiring issue) or Engine Control Module problem. I'm just making educated guesses here as it's hard to diagnose something without being able to test things.
@kristofflutchman thanks very much for answering. Unfortunately I've gotta trash my forester xt. Bought a new VTT solenoid and put it in all four positions one at a time (before I knew which was bank 1 for sure) and still getting 0016 and 0017. At almost 250k miles it's not worth the labor cost (plus a new ecu) Thanks again. Looks like the new wrx this time around.
@azizahmad1614 unfortunately I didn't. Got a new wrx. Kept the forester until I need it inspected in April. Just reset the code with a Bluetooth code reader every time I drive
Your forester is it a 2015 fxt or one similar? i have similar issue and dealer recommended all cam sprockets and timing chains. 4k at subie dealer. My 15 FXT is a salvage title with 180k. Want to keep it going so i'll end up doing the work just like seen in this video which THANK YOU @SkillCollectors @@Samlol23_drrich
E@@yooo46 It is an External Torx. Mine are labeled simply as E8, E10, E12 and so on. I have a big Cornwell Tools set with Torx and E-Torx in one box. Can't remember the size but 12 sounds about right.
I think the cam jumped because you have to turn the number 2 bank before removing the chain. It's funny because the cams turn so easily on the cams that are in the base lobe position. I thought the locks were bad at first.
I assume you had to replace the ECM as well? From what I’ve heard the code gets burned into the ecm and is necessary to replace. Also did the triangles need to line up as well? What did it cost the customer to do this job? Thanks man
The tab that pops off in the back, how do i keep it in? I also got a direct replacement but the spring and tube that go under that tab seal wont fit. The original had mpl on it and the replacement i got says exh
If the gear you bought says EXH on it then you have an exhaust cam gear. Intakes will say INT-RH/LH MPL on the face of the gear and have a MPL on the backside where the camshaft bolts in. Exhaust cam gears say EXH-RH/LH on the face of the gear and EXH on the backside.
wouldnt P0011 cause this issue too? my shop checked over solenoids on my fa20dit and wasnt the case and what they noticed was a “lazy” intake cam sprocket
Great video and job. Where you located(lol)?? Dealership wants $4100.... i was like wtf... they already got me for the vvt solenoids, which already replaced myself and the Subaru Tech said they were no good, so paid $1100 for that and now they want to change the sprockets. Gonna have to start robbing banks, or gigoloing the old ladies at the retirement center.
Great video! Thanks! It took me a weekend working off and on to get it done and finally got it to pass smog.
Nice work, glad it was helpful.
what tool did you use to move the cam forward?
How do you know wich one you have to replace? I have p0016 correlation bank 1 sensor A
I have seen some people change just 1. You did it with both.

And do you have an idea on how much a job like this cost
Just had mine done at a Subaru specialist shop. About $2600
Hello, can you tell me where the VVT
filter is installed on 2013 2.0?
these little filters are on the inside of your cam carrier, so you have to pull the motor out!
Hey man I got the same code p0018 I changed the sensors I was wondering if what your doing will help my problem

@@kaboompanda7467 No problem, it is pretty technical so definitely try to source a service manual for the job.

@@SkillCollectors I have this issue right now with Subaru Impreza G42013 getting p000c and p 000d code gonna change the ocv
I have a similar issue (persistent code P000A) on my 2014 brz. Did you ever figure out the problem?
WHAT IS THE CODE THAT POPPED UP????
How did you know which bank was bank 1. I have a p0016 and 0017. Both bank 1 Is that the passenger side or driver side. Thanks.
Passenger side. For all multi-bank engines, determine the firing order then whichever cylinder contains cylinder 1 will be bank 1.

What's the torque spec? I'm finding 12 ft lbs.....Is that correct?
Came here to find this too. Did you find it? I’m rebuilding my gears now
@@dariusmolfetas941 I went with 12 ft lbs. So far so good. It's been months since the repair.
Can't seem to find this anywhere: is the tool for the screws an ep12?

Anyone know the sprocket part numbers for both LH,RH? I need all 4 but I’m having trouble finding the right ones thank you!
wouldnt P0011 cause this issue too? my shop checked over solenoids on my fa20dit and wasnt the case and what they noticed was a “lazy” intake cam sprocket
Possibly but I believe that those banjo bolt filter things that feed the oil control solenoids are the culprit on that.
When you diagnosed this did the cam sprocket sound loud?
I don't remember it making any abnormal noises.
Where did you get the vvt camshaft gears, did you get a kit or you bought them all separately
Get all the parts for this job from the dealer separately.
How long to do the job? Thanks @@SkillCollectors
Damn man I wish you were in my area I’m having the same problem
Great video and job.
