Why is my VVT not working properly on my car?
Why is my VVT not working properly on my car?
Roughness in Idling Engine The passing of additional oil to the VVT gears is a possibility if the system is not working properly. This very phenomenon manifests itself in the rough idling of the engine. It is primarily because the engine’s RPM fluctuates as the VVT starts working.
Can a low oil level cause a VVT problem?
If your engine oil has not been changed out on schedule, it could damage the VVT solenoid, the VVT chain, and the gear drive. To avoid this situation, make sure to have your engine oil changed as recommended by the vehicle manufacture. Low oil levels can also cause problems with the VVT solenoid and other timing system components. 3.
What are the symptoms of a bad VVT?
Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Switch. Common signs include a rough engine idle, the Check Engine Light coming on, and the engine stumbling when climbing hills or under load.
What happens if the solenoid on a VVT fails?
If the VVT solenoid fails or is blocked, the lack of proper lubrication can cause the timing chain and gear to prematurely wear or break entirely. There are several other problems that may occur when a VVT solenoid is wearing out or has broken that may extend to complete engine failure.

Why is my VVT chain not working properly?
When the engine oil becomes clogged with debris, dirt or other foreign particles, it tends to clog up the passageway from the solenoid to the VVT chain and gear. If your engine oil has not been changed out on schedule, it could damage the VVT solenoid, the VVT chain, and the gear drive.

What was the problem with my C Max engine?
A few years ago another Ford Main Dealer renewed my (2004 C-Max) EGR valve at cost of £450 which was at fault. My neighbour, an RAC man, later said it was the crank position sensor (£26 and I renewed it myself, and all ok)!
