What is a VVT solenoid?

 

Google outage again?

 

Search your MVBs or SSPs for VVT and let me know what you come up with.

 

Were you saying not in the Treg or not by VW?

That's not what you asked.

 

What are the labels on those black things... As in the setup that he's asking about? I don't have my glasses on.

LOL, eh.

Oh, you mean the solenoid valves?

● Two solenoid valves There are two solenoid valves located in the control housing. They direct oil pressure to both fluted variators according to the signal from the engine control unit. Inlet camshaft timing adjustment valve -1- (N205) is responsible for the inlet camshaft, and exhaust camshaft timing adjustment valve -1- (N318) is responsible for the exhaust camshaft.

 

So nothing about VVT..... weird... maybe the VVT part is silent

 

Perhaps reading the title of documents or the document itself isn't your strong suit. The whole damned SSP is called "Variable Valve Timing." Write much? Redundancy is generally frowned upon. You aren't going to refer to the solenoid valves as Variable Valve Timing solenoids every time.

But whatever, God @SaVAGeSoot . Or should I say Sheldon Cooper. You are right, I and every other mortal am wrong. We're not worthy!

 

Not having a VR6 to look at, how much room is at the back of the engine? Can you get to them without removing any covers? There is a cover over the end of the cams but I'm not sure how the solenoids come through it. I can't find a video on utoob showing how to get to them either in the vehicle or out. All of the videos seem to be out of the vehicle with the cover(s) removed.

 

@C-ya thanks for the positive direction.
After doing more searching it looks like the cam cover would have to come off. Not sure if it's a 1 or 2 piece unit but definitely not something that can be done without being a skinny contortionist with small hands, or without removing the engine on the worse end of the spectrum.
I do have one used solenoid unit that was tested as good and in looking at it I don't see any screens on it. It's possible I'm looking to PM something that isn't necessary.

On the screens, I'm not sure where they are located. They may be in the actual mechanism, not the solenoid valve itself. Some posts I found mentioned removing the screen and changing the oil more often.

 

@C-ya I hear there's help for people like you
@New2Tregs here's what you're looking at
✌

 

Thanks for the info.

 

There sure is. It's called the ignore button. Buh bye!

Ya know, it's sad. For the good info you do occasionally share, you more than do yourself a disservice with all the other posts.
