I guess so! I will try to flush engine (not a good idea?) next oil change next week.



I clean 2 old VVT selenoid before replacing 2 brand new VVT today using youtube method found here:

All VVTs sensors are working/functioning.

My guess was the same, I reset engine check light via ODB reset tool, it did not erase the code. I also reset engine check light by using battery disconnected method. All are no luck

Sigh.


How did this engine get 'sludged'?????????????? THis isnt a normal thing. You shouldnt have to 'flush engines'.




Not sure what a 'solenoid sensor' is..... I guess I missed that you replace the vanos solenoids as well. I just read sensors only.


(The video is a mess. That is NOT a adequate solenoid flush...but you said you replaced it with new? So they rules it out)



What code reader are you using?


And there is no 'battery disconnect method'.
