Variable Camshaft Timing Solenoid Inspection And Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If a customer complains of a lack of power, accompanied by an induction type noise but no fault exists with the air filter assembly, induction system hoses and no DTC s are present, the issue is likely to be an internal failure of the variable camshaft timing solenoid.
- Install a new variable camshaft timing solenoid as necessary. Refer to: VARIABLE CAMSHAFT TIMING SOLENOID
- Check the date marked on the new variable camshaft timing solenoid, as shown in the image below. If the date shown is 18-08-23 (23rd August 2018) or previous DO NOT install the solenoid. Only install a new variable camshaft timing solenoid dated after 18-08-23 (23rd August 2018).
