Can dirty oil cause this valve to fail?

Yes, the fine mesh filter inside can clog with sludge from old or contaminated oil, restricting flow and causing timing faults even when the valve is otherwise fine.

Is it safe to keep driving with this fault?

Generally yes short-term, though performance and emissions suffer — repair is recommended promptly.

Does the valve need to be cleaned or just replaced?

Cleaning can sometimes resolve sludge-related faults, but a persistent fault after cleaning usually means the solenoid has failed.

What is this part and why does it matter?

The exhaust camshaft solenoid valve controls oil flow to the variable valve timing (VVT) actuator on the exhaust camshaft, adjusting valve timing for performance and emissions.

Signs of a faulty part

If you notice any of the following, the part likely needs replacement:

Check Engine light with a camshaft timing/correlation fault code
Rough idle or hesitation on acceleration
Rattling noise from the VVT area at startup

Installation information

Bolts into the cylinder head with a seal, and connects to the engine wiring harness — clean the mounting bore of any debris before fitting the new valve.

Frequently asked questions

The ECU monitors intake and exhaust camshaft position separately, so a fault on this solenoid triggers a code specific to the exhaust camshaft.

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
