Out of the 200 videos I’ve watched this week u have the best one that explains all the symptoms people change the vvt sensor and cap but don’t realize if the cap has oil in it the heat is bad
Thanks for showing how to check the phasers! You are awesome and have obviously done more than a few of these.
I have the same frustration with when friends and family y say "The guy / girl at the parts store told me code says I need this part." My answer is "The code only tells us where to star looking. Before I just throw parts at it I would like to properly diagnose the problem. It might be the expensive sensor, the part it monitors, or it might be an inexpensive broken wire repair."
Ive been watchin your vids for like a yr on that 3.6L pentastar.ive only done 3 ill bet youre a pro at it now.
First time seeing your channel. Excellent knowledge and love your personality. You're not trying to be 100% professional, you're just being yourself. That's wholesome and refreshing. Im definitely subscibing
My brother I'm SOOO HAPPY I found your video on here because you have MOST DEFINITELY lifted my spirits. I'm an old school automotive machinist and a decent mechanic so I have rebuilt many engines just not this one. THAT said and watching a few crappy youtube videos prior to this one it's just enough to get a person in a hell of a lot of trouble with this spaghetti mess of chains, multiple tensioners, grenade pins, cam phasers, magnetic cam sensor rings that attract EVERYTHING your valvetrain chews up, a gaggle of timing marks, each side needs to be lined up separately.... For the love of God why??? I'm just thankful this engine is in a 2014 Jeep Grand Check Engine Light ... Umm I mean Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 3.6L Flex Fuel bla bla bla... or it would have been a real treat if it were in sideways...
So this debacle originally started when I was getting cam crank correlation code, misfire codes, ECU code, just over and over then they go away. The light usually came on during decel but later on it was totally random. Eventually this ticking noise developed that would go away and sometimes there was a loud clattering sound coming from the engine at startup that was alarming. This steadily got worse. Oil pressure normally I think was 25 at idle warm but now is low like 10 psi in neutral but goes right up when I touch the gas. I'm thinking old school here, noisy lifters bleeding off oil pressure, possibly tensioner going bad also bleeding off oil etc. The vehicle has 137K on it at the present moment so I figure it has to be this side. I'm doing pretty good so I have my false confidence going on. Nothing looks bad on the passengers side except the cam journals ( cam and head all 16 of them ) are scratchy like they were starved of oil a bit. I polish everything up with 500 grit just to remove the high spots to give it a chance. Cams are all good amazingly, I clean the silver magnetic fur off the reluctor disks on the back of the cams and button it up.
At this point I'm feeling pretty cocky, I pull the drivers side valve cover and that's where the chaos began. I'm doing one cam at a time and again another 16 journals need polishing but the cams are good. Here is where it went sideways in my mind anyway. I DID NOT KNOW that if some butter fingered bumbling fool who was scared to pull his homemade grenade pin because he almost lost his mind getting the tensioner retracted and locked in place. FYI a mountain bike spoke ( grenade pin modded to fit ) and a piece of stainless spring or silver solder ( very stiff and not easily bent back ) will work. You can lock the cams together at the spot you're using the wrench just use 2 wrenches, cross them and clamp them together. I had all the technical stuff going pretty smooth until it gets down around 37 degrees and I can't feel my hands. I'm wrestling the intake cam phaser into place and it slipped out of my hand, the chain slacked and went down in the cover. I almost crapped myself... I can't see down in there so all I can think is did it jump a tooth down on the crank? I did not paint the chains because they have colored links and the timing marks are everywhere. That is not what bothered me, I can't see through the timing cover so I don't know if it jumped a tooth. I didn't pull the pin yet and didn't turn anything over so I think just start from the start, line it all back up but I can't see the lower gear!!! Did it jump??
So it's done, it all looks good, I'm scared to pull the pin because if I'm wrong I'll have to put it in again and doing it once in a lifetime like this is enough. I can't push the start button, it's my only vehicle on the road and if I'm wrong. So I start to roll it over and the cams opening the valves so I can't see it the marks are lined up because I have to turn it until they line up. Not realizing if I turn it over without tension on the chain it jumps a tooth. NOOOOO!!!! Ok repeat process and this time it's all lined up and I pull the pin. It's all still lined up but I can't stop thinking about the crank. I turn it over like 5 times by hand with the plugs out and no resistance that I can feel, no bumping valves off pistons just smooth. I think I have it so I push the button and it cranks but won't start. It sounds like it's cranking slow and it was cold out so I put the charger on the battery and it's pulling over 5 amps... I do remember that week it was cranking slow for a few days before this. It's the original MOPAR battery from 2014 so I feel a new battery isn't a bad idea going into winter. So $200 later and the same thing it just cranks but won't start. I also saw a video more recently showing the timing chain replacement and the one old chain was about a 1/4" longer than the new one with MUCH less miles than my Heep. So what can you say about getting 137K on the factory battery and timing components? I have a full timing kit ordered with gaskets and now they are calling for snow, YEAH!!
I'm thinking I got my money's worth out of these parts and probably should have torn the whole front off the engine right at the get go which would have saved me about 42 panic attacks and many years off my life ;)
Hey buddy, the good news out of all this is it's a RWD vehicle..which makes all the repairs you may have to do easy. Let me know what all part inside of that timing kit. I've never had to actually replace any of the timing chain components..I've had to remove them for several reasons but not a kit replacement.
I could send you a picture of everything I have. My email is arnone.brian@gmail.com
And thank you for the reply ;)
Something else I would like to add, early on I was told the PCV valve ( oil strainer ) should be changed since at that time it was over 100K. I looked up a MOPAR valve it was about $60, I looked at the Standard ignition valve at $20 and made in USA I went with Standard Ignition. I replaced it earlier this year and not even 6 months later it went bad and 2.5 quarts of oil were sucked through the intake over a period of weeks. This engine NEVER used any oil since I've owned it. It was bought at 28K so I check it once a month or so. There were no lights, warnings or anything except a very bad smell out the exhaust. Thankfully I run a K&N so it just got a good re-oiling ;)
Awesome sauce! Good video, good sir. Thank you for your time and effort. God bless you
Another great vid, Thank you!
Really appreciate your videos!
Thanks dude. I'm a mechanic by trade and I just learnt something 🤣👍👍 thanks
Thanks for the vid.. Does not appear to be much out there on the Phasers on these. Just put new cams, lifters, and rockers (failed lifters) on 2017, and a few weeks ago it started dumping oil in the PCV and getting a P0017 - bad phasers seem more likely the issue with the timing but gotta pull it all apart again to check. (Live data showed it all off) ( I did replace the PCV valve after it dumped the oil but the timing issue has drawn all of my attention at the moment) and OF COARSE, it is the back of the engine hard to get to!
06 murano with no codes, same issue on Intake cam phasor, never heard of this problem before but now know it's common on SO many cars
Thanks sir, my 2019 Raptor had cam failure at 22k miles and now again at 41k miles, now ck engine light back on again less than a week later(auto zone code shows P0025) but no rattle sound at all after 2nd phaser replacement
PERFECT! I haven't checked my phasers yet, but while I'm changing all the rocker arms and lifters, and the Journey has 135k on it, I'm just gonna order the phasers. Thanks Again!!!
Have you done the timing chains and gears yet? I went at it easy parts first but ended up there anyway.
@@brianarnone933 Haven't started yet. I'm waiting for the timing chain tool.
@@CarlJPankowskidrummer I'm waiting on the timing chain kit and gaskets. I just did the lifters and rockers a few days ago, my plan is I don't want to go back in this thing again so now I'm thinking the cam Phasers too
I kept getting P0300 code. Ran me crazy trying to figure it out. I heard you in another video recommend to replace cam phasers around 100k. I’ve got 150k so I figured why not. 🤷🏼♂️ Ended up replacing all 4 cam phasers and that took care of it. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Thats whats up my man. Thanks for watching. Dont forget to thumbs up the vids also. Apreciate it.
Aaron, were you having rough idle issues before changing the phasers? I'm having multiple miss fire / rough idle about 45 seconds after a cold start. IF I rev the engine up it will run but as soon as it idles, it's so rough, sometimes it dies out. Iv'e changed the following. PCV, O2 sensor, coil packs, sparks plugs, MAP sensor, and I checked both camshafts and even replaced rockers / lifters. Driving me nuts but I didn't thinbk about changing out the phasers since there were no codes to lead me that direction. I was getting a Rich idle code of some sort but I haven't seen it in a while.
JT, if you are reading this, any info would help. If you have time, I would love to explain everything to you from the beginning on signs and different codes I was getting before changing anything. DM if you ever get some free time.
BTW... all the issues from the begining have been coming from Bank 1. The only code I am geting now is P0300. There is also a constant ticking noise but all the rockers are new. I'm going to tear back down this evening to do JT's trick and see if the cams will move freely within phasers when turning with a wrench. This will shed light on phaser issues hopefully.
@@jacobtrahan181 sorry I just saw your question… were you able to figure anything out? On mine, it ran perfect for 3 months then started back bucking again… so I quit pouring time and money into the Dodge and traded it for a Honda. I didn’t have any issues with idle but it would just buck really bad on acceleration.
Cool thanks for the video
Excellent!
Very impressive...
Another awesome video JT!
I just did 2 pentastar ticking repairs successfully thanks to you!
Now, I’m patiently waiting for the metal shavings video. 😂
I’ve been seeing them in the filter. I flash a light on the oil filter and see little sparkling dots.
Keep the videos coming bro!
Thanks for watching bud, and reminding me. Part 1 should be up 11-11 and Part 2 likely 11-12.

350z guys chase these problems all the time and it sucks lol thank you!!!
Thanks for the video, I've been getting P0340 and P0344 coming up along with the traction control light on, have a 2012 Wrangler JKU. Going to have my mechanic check the cam phaser.
Yea but he will likely give you estimates for cam sensors first like most all mechanics do when they see this codes
I actually replaced the camshaft position sensor bank 1 with an OEM part at his suggestion and the code kept coming up along with the engine going into limp mode...hoping we can solve the issue.
@@thebrucechannel8061 do you get it fixed? Have the same issues on my Panamera 970. Thank you
Thank you. I learned a lot.
Thanks for tuning in Howard. Remember to thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel. Thanks
thanks my Cam phaser is advancing. I'm hoping to by a new one. my V70 XC 2001 is having this issue.
Thank you
Dealership has had more car for 3 months almost, they finally decided it was a camshaft phaser, they replaced it, I picked it up, it started real rough, made it 15 min and the car shut off while driving, got it start back up except now it has the cam shaft position 2 sensor engine code on which was the original reason I brought it in June, this would make the 3rd sensor in the few days I have my Jeep with the 3.6 since June 5th. I’m convinced the mechanics at my dealership are unsure of what to do.
Excellent job explaining my friend!!.. :))......

@@OnlineMechanicTips Absolutley! I hit the thumbs up when I first saw your video. I wasn’t expecting your reply so I am not sure if I subscribed but I will to help you friend. Sir I left another comment right under this one. A separate comment. I was asking about my 2014 Chevy Malibu. If you would read that and tell me what you think. I would be very great full. Also later today I plan on taking the 2 small VVT solenoids out and attempting to clean them. Do you think that is a bad idea? I am not a Machanic but have plenty of common sense and am good at fixing things. With that being said do you think I would be messing up by attempting this? Sir If I could contact you when I needed advice I would have no trouble at all sending you some appreciation,, if you know what I mean. Another gentleman walked me through building a “”Hookah Diving Unit,”” that is worth about 2 to $3000.oo. With his help I did it for 1/3 of that. I gladly sent him close to $300.oo on 3 or 4 different occasions. That was $300.oo total. I did it threw PayPal on E-bay. Do you have that? I’m not a scammer and this may sound crazy but I will do what I say. I’ll gladly give you my E-mail or whatever will prove to you that I am serious and honest. Let me know please Sir before I look for someone else. After listening to you I was impressed. Thats why I am offering this. Thank you friend and GOD bless!!.. :)).......

Thank you for directing me here
Buddy... Thank you. I just had cams replaced by dealer and car idles rough now. It has never ever shakes before. They said to drive it a few hundred miles and then call them. I redid cam learn, cleared adaptives and put on 100 miles. Power has mostly come back and idle Is liveable now. It doesn't shake the seats anymore at least. Dealer wants to charge me another diag fee to even look at their work. should I do?
Thx,I learn something new.i been overhaul and after grind valve Sorento xm twin cam vvti engine but I change the phaser already still I don't know how to adjust the vvti phaser cam angle ,code p0011,p0014 keep coming out.
Good friend of mine ownes a Napa. He said he sells more pentastar cam sensors than almost anything
Have you heard of a phaser causing a tick? I have one I haven’t tore into tho. But said they had a tick. Had all new timing set, lifters, rockers and cams. But for some reason whoever worked on it did not replace the phasers. And the tick doesn’t really sound like the traditional rocker failure
So glad I found your channel!! I have a 2015 and have been chasing a p000a code for a month. 3 dealership services and the code keeps coming back. They have done everything BUT looked at the camshaft phasers per the paperwork
Yea there is no codes that even call out the cam phasers name. Most mechanics need the fault code to at least call out the name before they will even suspect it as being the problem. Its mechanical and will fail when worn just like any other part. Thanks for jumping on. Hope you are subscribed and please thumbs up the video, thanks
@philipwhatley6742 did phasers fix your code?
@MrNcotton yep! Phasers, lifters and rockers replaced and bye-bye code

Hi again, I’m back to work on my 2013. Do you have a link on where I can buy new phasers? I haven’t any luck finding a replacement.
Oh man I wanted to see where the shavings went!
I have a 2017 ford focus st with p0365 I’ve replaced timing components and the sensor itself along with the pigtail but still having same issues…is there anything else that can cause this? Thanks
I have this similar set up on my gm.3.6 I got everything back together and I'm not getting oil pressure through my tensioners on my timing just Bubbles instead of a stream hitting the chains all 3 are doing the same thing I can't figure out why that's why I'm here can you help .
Got a 3.6 ticker. All the rockers are good. Replaced 2 failed lifters. But she still ticks at operating temp. No codes thrown. Is it possible the phase is causing this? Or could it be a sticky valve.... oils at perfect level. No codes. No wear on the cam or the rockers.
Friend I have a 2014 Chevy malibu with a 2.5L. When I try to pass another vehicle my car will rev up like it is going to take off but will not pick up speed. I also lost probably 5 to 8 miles per gallon and my check engine light is on. Other that that it runs great with 114,000 miles on it. The code thrown said it is the “”Acuator Control Arm,”” which I have narrowed down to the VVT. However there are 3 of them all around the top of the engine of course. Is it possible to know which one it is by the symptoms so I can just replace the one that is faulty? Thank you Friend and great video!!
Hi! How to install an old tone ring on a new shaft?
Can the front phasor on a 3.5 explorer be replaced without taking off the side cover?
will I use the proper tool... probably not. I love that.
Yes, and I surely hope I didnt discourage DIYers not to use the tool. I have done so many now that the tool slows me down. Crazy but true. Thanks for watching bud.
I replaced a phaser last year and another one needs to be replaced. When I’m driving, my truck will go into a lower gear and the traction control light comes on. I hate when it happens on the Highway
Hey i have a 2015 charger se. V6 3.5l pentastar motor. Code reads p06dd. Oil pressure sensor stuck off.

Still runs bad getting codes po300, 302, 420, 374 123, 113. I replaced all vvt solenoids. Do I need a autel or better scanner to relearn all vvts? Also in modde 6 3 cylinders in bank 1 running below standard. Did compression test getting 120-150. Please help I'm in bad position. Got mom outta nursing home n taking care of her. Thanks

Can a bad camphaser increase fuel consumption? My Cadillac CTS 2005 3.6L lost power and has high fuel consumption.
I have a question for you! So I have been around a motor once or twice military gearhead to be precise.... In fact I do most of my repairs... So I took my dodge journey into the dealership (mistake number 1, the reason I opted not to do it myself is lack of a garage and the fancy tools for this big job) after a self diagnosis of a head gasket leak (exhaust into the cooling system) I told them to confirm as I was about 90% sure and also wanted them to try to diag the tick it had (I could not figure out what it was) so when I dropped off the car there was no check engine light on, only stored DTCs (17 to be precise from temp warning to misfire and even p0016) When they put everything back together billed me almost $1700 in just labor called me told me that the cam phasers need replacing and the check engine light is on reading the p0016 code...based on watching your videos I would assume any rookie tech would check for movement of the cams prior or is this not common practice? I have removed the sensor plugs to see if it got better/worse with no change which is telling me a bad phaser... the real question is why would they put back together the vehicle even if they knew the phasers were bad then quote out another $1100 job? I'm Likely going to do it myself.... also would you be able to tell me the head size of the 2.4 cam phaser bolt?
Im not really sure they put it back together knowing a phaser was coming apart. Ide like to think they just simply didnt check it mechanically. Also I would caution doing this job until you feel comfy wit that timing setup. Thats not easy bud, but do-able. Also are you subscribed to the channel?
@@OnlineMechanicTips I am subscribed for some reason or another it did not tell me you responded, until I clicked on the bell. Sorry for my late response. So I actually pulled the valve cover off and with the car in neutral rotated the crank once checked position of the cam phasers both lines were pointing outward and slightly down. Rotated again both we pointing inward slightly up seems more up then it was down... so something with the timing was not done correct, which is obvious there are missing bolts, the wheel well engine splash guard is missing (they never took those bolts out just broke the plastic. Hell even the hood prop retaining clip is now missing, none of the valve cover bolts were actually tight the 5 miles I put on the car to drive to the tire shop to swap my stud with regular and then home... there was plenty of oil on the outside of the newly cleaned head etc I called doge customer cares if it was just a timing issue I likely would let them fix that but with all the other issues it shows no Quality control exists, and begs the question of what are they going to break next.
How’s it going JT...you mentioned that you found where the shavings went in the motor and I tried looking at the video you put in the description but it says it’s private. Wondering if you could tell us where the shavings go because I’m currently working on a 3.6 that had a chewed up rocker and cam. Thanks!
The bearings/shavings end up in the left side of the oil pan
Do you have a video on removal of oil pan?
I have the P0024 code that won't go away. Exhaust Camshaft position timing over advanced Bank 2. Clean oil, new filter, new VVT solenoids and it doesn't go away. I guess I should get this checked out. It's a 2009 Nissan Maxima with the VQ35 engine.
Yes you should. The good scan tool thats use will let the tech see evrything he needs to see to get it fixed
@@OnlineMechanicTips Well I got lucky, the camshaft doesn't spin. It's looking more and more like a wiring issue.
Awesome video! I have a Challenger 3.6 and i'm getting a P0300 and my abs pulsates, but all of these take place at the same time AND ONLY if it is less than 35 degrees outside. I am getting P0018 too, and I replaced camshaft and crankshaft sensors in bank 2. AutoZone said the possible cause is the vct phaser. How likely is this and do these symptoms correlate with the weather and phaser? The check engine light will come on, car drives fine with the exception of reduced gas mileage and the initial brake sputter at the beginning. But the check engine light will go off after a few ignition cycles and return days or weeks later. Car has 214000 miles on it and never been rebuilt.
Hey bud, curious, was there any codes in the ABS and do the traction control light come on? Also are you subscribed to the channel?
If you reuse that groved cam. It want tick as early on your next rocker failure lol. It will have more room to fail before starts hitting the cam 😂
Got a 025 code on 98 ford explorer sport. What does it mean?
Hey, great videos! What size socket do I need to turn the crank? Thanks!!
1 1/16
Which is the second cylinder on this engine?
My marks go off of alignment after 2 revolutions any ideas
By the specific tonage of your voice: I think i know who the gentleman is!?! If i'm right: i know your family?!?
Hope you or someone sees this comment of mine.... HELP!!!! Lol, I have an 09 accord 2.4L vtech with 140k on motor 298k on body. I F'd up and was fully aware when I got it in November it needed an actuator. Now I have bigger problems, I think. I know it is needing a timing chain kit, actuator and I do not know if I am overthinking this, but crank is at TDC, come up to cams and timing marks are off by 7-8 teeth. When I initially looked at eye level the intake vtc sprocket looked as if the chain was riding on the points of the teeth while exhaust sprocket was good and set. I went to loosen top chain guide and it popped down into place. I DO NOT KNOW what to really do next. The right thing to do is I am pretty sure just pull the crank pulley, motor mount, timing cover, pop chain off, and then cams. If I can get a motor hoist, is it just easier to pull the motor and rebuild it? I owe on the car still so I am not sure the best financial approach.
Hi my question is how much is the labor of replacing what you doing i have a 2015 jeep jk unfortunately is out of warranty and the ticking is driving me crazy
Hello bud, if you referring to an estimate for doing cam phasers, its hard to tell. There are a total 0f 4 on a 3.6 engine. The last job I did paid 6 hours labor for all 4. Most shops charge about 180 a hour. Plus it would be wise to find out if these are actually your problem. A lot of things can cause a tick. Thanks for watching, please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks
I know this is quite a while later but I have a 2015 jk also. How much did you end up paying for your service
D:) ticker / fazor ! got it peace
I just bought a 2013 jeep wrangler with the 3.6, it has 150k miles on it. Everytime I turn the car on for the first time in the day and drive like 5mins up the street. The engine shutters and a the check engine light comes on with a p0300 muilt misfire and p0018 camshaft position sensor bank 2. Do you think it's the cam phasers needing to be replaced or should I replace the timing chain?
My friend, theres no one size fits all with this stuff. NOBODY would know if the cam phasers or timing chain is your problem or needs to be replaced. This stuff has to be diagnosed. Can a cam phaser cause this? at 100k absolutly, can a timing chain? How? Unless its super stretched (highly unlikely) or a guide has broken causing timing to be off. But if you asking me based off what ive seen in the past and my experience I would def be looking at those phasers.
I finished the replacement of the right intake cam on my Dodge Grand Caravan. Took it to have a mechanic with a computer set the relearn on the cam/crank. The timing marks are right but the computer says its got a slow cam sensor code and no crank sensor even though its running. He cleared all the codes and the light came back on b4 I got home. I drove it a while (over 100 mi ) and took it back and it now says there is an issue with the timing chain but the crank and cam sensors seem to be working fine now. Think I will keep driving and keep clearing the codes. Maybe it will adjust on its own.. Welcome any comments
Did your code disappear yet ? I also had codes P369, P000A and B
Hey and thanks! I have a 2011 Chrysler 200 3.6.... I just put 2 new cams in and all new lifters and rockers. Other 2 cams like new. When I start it (sometimes) its a click click rattle and gone? Just a second or so after start up. Bothers me. What is it?
Hey bud, you gone have to back track all your steps. Was the cam caps properly torque to specs? Also are you subscribed to the channel?
I'm still confused how you do that without the tools wouldn't the tensioner fully extend and chain jumps some teeth and then you gotta remove the chain cover?? So confused!! Lol
Hey bud. Not sure I meant for that to be seen..lol, let me say this. After youve done a few, it becomes very easy, also keep in mind, with the timing chain cover on the car, the chain will not jump time on the crank. So no matter how you lay the chain, timing will not be affected except for at the camshaft which could easily be put back together correctly.
I have a 2012 caravan with 160k miles. The engine has started making a whining noise at the front left side where the cam phasers are. It sounda like something is rubbing on a chain as the sound of it increases with the engine's RPM.
I have no check engine light or valve chatter. Could a timing chain tensioner go bad and be making this noise? It drives fine but is just noisy. What do you think the problem is?
Are you saying you have no valve chatter but theres noise in the valve area near the cam phasers? Also are you subscribed to the channel?
@@OnlineMechanicTips yes. Kind of sounds like a wheel bering that makes noise when you drive. But the sound is coming from the front left side of the engine. Slow sound at idle and increases with rpm .
What would cause a cam phaser to go bad at only 21k miles I have a 2018 mustang gt & it’s bone stock! Should I change the oil type? I’m running 5w20 motor craft..hope to hear back from you brother &
thanks for the video I learned soemthing! 🤙
Hey bud, what engine do you have in that Mustang? Also are you subscribed to the channel?
I have the 5.0 gen 3, 10 speed & I sure did brother 👊
I got a 2012 5.0 I think my phaser took a shit throwing code p0015
So at a certain mileage should you just go ahead and change all the rockers, and phasers before things go south?
That is a form of pro-active..Some people do that. I give the cam phasers a life span of maybe 90k. Thanks for watching bud, please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks

Help! My 114k mile 2010 370z nismo has CEL with code P0300 and high idling 1000 rpm even after oil change, new spark plugs, welded a crack in the catalyst converter, new exhaust gaskets. I recently changed camshaft sensors, cleaned MAF sensors and code P0300 is still on plus new code P0011 bank 1. The car was sluggish limpy mode and couldn't go pass 2200 rpm. I reset CEL and now it's drivable and can get pass 2200 rpm but CEL is flashing. Please advise. Thank you
You ever fix it

Knows where I can get it (with seals & gasket kit if possible) without paying an arm and a leg?
Just when you thought the German can built better engines than Asian.
the phaser normally moves up to 30 degrees. the bad one is the one that do not moves. you need to move them one clockwise, other anticlockwise to reinitialise them. The dealer was right , they move. Read the manual
Tell us more about this “reinitialize them” please. Do you have a link or excerpt from that manual?
when this is the problem does it sound much worse when you turn your a/c on?
When this is what problem? What problem are you having? Also are you subscribed to the channel?
My wifes vans engine sounds very similar to this and the sound gets much worse when you turn the a/c on. And yes im subscribed.
Although for some reason the check engine light isn't on.
