#1: Unplugging the VVT - SOLVED Author: EuroPeugeot, Location: SW EnglandPosted: Fri Apr 22, 2011 6:08 am ---- I've got the infamous VVT problem on my 180. I want to try unplugging it and giving it a clean.
Having problems unplugging it thou! It's such a tight space to get my hand in. Any tips? Last edited by EuroPeugeot on Sat Apr 23, 2011 12:18 pm; edited 1 time in total

#6: Re: Unplugging the VVT Author: EuroPeugeot, Location: SW EnglandPosted: Fri Apr 22, 2011 9:20 am ---- Just literally pull it hard yeah?

#9: Re: Unplugging the VVT Author: EuroPeugeot, Location: SW EnglandPosted: Sat Apr 23, 2011 6:42 am ---- Thanks for the replies, literally just got it out.
Getting the plug out and off the solenoid was annoying, quite hard to get to, especially with a strut brace! I took the coilpack out in the end to allow a little more room.
Getting the actual solenoid out of the engine block was even harder, very tight space so you cant really grab it properly, but it came out in the end
I'll let you know if it fixes my VVT problem later after a drive

Are you planning on replacing it altogether?
#11: Re: Unplugging the VVT Author: Schumi, Location: Istanbul / TurkeyPosted: Sat Apr 23, 2011 8:08 am ---- VVT problem dont apper on EML light. ECU cant detect any fault about VVT without shortcut.
#12: Re: Unplugging the VVT Author: EuroPeugeot, Location: SW EnglandPosted: Sat Apr 23, 2011 9:26 am ---- I've had the car about 5 months, and the EML has been on the whole time, but I've only recently got it read.
I've driven the car for about an hour, and there isn't a different in performance and the light hasn't gone off
This was my code reading faults and I haven't fixed the air con wiring problem, so that why most likely
I'm gonna have to replace the VVT solenoid arn't I?

#14: Re: Unplugging the VVT - SOLVED Author: EuroPeugeot, Location: SW EnglandPosted: Sat Apr 23, 2011 12:23 pm ---- Updated the title as solved, as the original question/post has been solved
But the VVT problem and the air con problem has not been fixed

Thanks - but what do you mean about "shortcut?" I maybe a bit thick and certainly an Idiot but I have a code reader and nothing is showing at the moment, so how would I find out if my VVT solenoid is sticking or stuck? Last edited by data on Sat Apr 23, 2011 1:57 pm; edited 1 time in total
