Hi, I'm Steve, nonda's lead mechanic engineer. Feel free to leave your comments here if you have any mechanic questions, I will be glad to help you out!
It is exactly what I am facing and afraid of being ripped off, Engine light on, Code p0011,p136,p0141,c1555,Car drinking fuel like super jumbo jet, and also can't even pull or accelerate faster on small hills, all started after washing the engine, Service done recently and no improvement. Now I will check with the camshaft CHEVROLET ORLANDO , VAUXHALL engine
In my kia Sportage 2009 while in highway check engine light and after few minutes oil lamp light...soon i stop checked the oil level was normal but the oil look dirty.. computer check was p0011...i drained oil with 10min motul flush...used original filter, 5w30 SN GF5 100% synthetic oil...no more check light...thanks
I have a 2014 Corolla S and P0010 but I just had a oil change so it has to be the other option but where can I get the part for the camshaft oil control valve.
Hello, I have a 2012 Buick Regal. I've had the P011 code. I changed the oil and replaced the Intake camshaft position solenoid. The light disappeared. I decided to check engine and it still has a P011 code even though there is no engine light
Thanks for the video, I have an issue with my porsche panamera turbo --> p0076 solenoide control valve bank 1, and would like to know if I can do the same cleaning to the vvt solenoid ? It can be something else ?
Hi I have a 2011 mercedes ML 350 and I am getting the P0011 code, I took it to a mechanic and he told me I needed a Balance shaft and it would cost me 6000.00 this is the only code that is showing , also where is the camshaft oil control valve on this motor?
I'm getting a P0011 code with a loss of power. I have a 2014 Cadillac Ats 2.0T. I doubt that it's engine oil because that doesn't typically cause power loss. Any thoughts?
Hi Joe, we suggest to start by checking the condition of the intake valve timing control solenoid valve and camshaft position sensor's harnesses for short/open. Check also its circuits for poor electrical connection.
If you are using a DVOM then it is probably auto ranging, which means you just set to Ohms and it will display the range on its own. If your meter is not auto ranging than I would start at the lower setting.(Been years since I had a non-auto ranging meter)
hello i have same problem p0011 code golf 6 2011 2.5 engine. car working perfectly when car is cool,but when temperature is high engine may operate rough, idle, or stall also hard start. after 30 minutes working perfectly 😀please help me
Can i manually add some oil to lubricate the sprocket after cleaning the solenoid. Asking because the vehicle has been sitting and the start up might be rough
Hey Steve so I have a 2015 Chevy equinox. I have the p0011 and 10 codes I’ve replaced both of them, oil change, and the check engine light won’t go away. I’ve even cleared both codes with and Obd scanner and it pops back up any advice?
Hello, as you are receiving more than one error code, we highly suggest getting your vehicle visually checked by your local mechanic for further diagnosis.
Hi Steve. Great video. I have a P0011 code on my 2014 Q50 Inifiniti. I messed up and let the oil get low. I change the oil and filters but now when I accelerate and it get’s to RPM 2.5 it jerks/ stutters. Its having a hard time shifting. So in order for me to shift I have to use manual and not let it touch 2.5 or lift of the gas and shift it that way. I told it to the Infiniti dealership but they said they would have to take it entirely apart and that would be $6000. Have you ever heard of this happening? Can you please respond.
@@natsumatsu879 i had this issue w my 350z, if u keep your oil level at a desired level it will fix it. It did that to me when i had this issue and it would shift like shit, you either have a bad vvt valve or youre too low on oil.
Hello, my Subaru ascent is showing “p0011 camshaft position timing over-advanced bank 1” and all the lights on the dash are on. The dealership replaced the oil control valve what should I do???? Please help 😢
Most guys call them oil filter claws, and they come in very handy. I have used my Craftsman one for going on ten years, professionally, and I have not had an issue with it. Auto parts stores carry them too.
@nondainc Hi Steve. I have a 2019 Kodiaq 1.5 TSI DADA engine. I am getting P0011 code only on cold engine (oil temp lower than 60 degrees). Car used to drive on 5w40 and 5w30 oil, recently changed to 0w20. Problem popped up only 2 months ago, and is still there after oil change. Cleaning the solenoid magnet and oil control valve did not help. Would you advise replacing either of the two (if so - which one would you replace first)? There is another control valve inside the intake camshaft but it is very difficult to get to. On live data I notice an additional strange thing. When driving on cold engine, after engine Start/Stop shutdown, the specified value for intake camshaft gets "stuck" at 8.7 degrees, while actual value cycles between 8.7 and 12.0 degrees. Pressing the accelerator does not alter the specified value sent by ECU. After a few seconds, it gets "unstuck" and specified starts reacting to changes in driving behavior and actual value follows specified more closely. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I can share graphs if needed. Thanks a ton for your help!
@@nondainc confirmed. There are codes triggered on adaptive cruise control, but more as a consequence to this code being triggered. It’s 19233 P0011 code. And I can clearly see on live chart data that actual value for intake camshaft adjuster deviated significantly >20 degrees) from specified value for a few seconds during driving cycle. Sometimes several times in a row. But this only happens on cold engine, never (so far in 3 month) on warm engine.
Hi. I've gotten t a 2007 Escalade 6.2l with code p0011. I replaced the sensor and checked the wiring harness. Still getting the code. Maybe the camshaft adjuster magnet? Any help is greatly appreciated 👍
Hi i have vauxhall astra 1.4 turbo 67 plate. On the dashboard it says engine power reduce and engine light comes on. When you drive sometimes it goes off. And it comes back on. What can it be ? The sensor got replaced as garage thought it was the sensor and they reset the light. But it still came on with the same warning sign engine power reduced. Please help me
Hello, since this is quite complicated to perform, we suggest to have it done by your local mechanic. This work requires experience and access to a variety of tools.
@@nondainc one last question, what could be wrong if a car is having an unstable idle it also sounds loud from the engine not the exhaust tail especially when revving it sounds like the air is blocked or the throttle body intake hose has been removed
Actually, there are various reasons. But we couldn't pinpoint for sure as your vehicle should be visually inspected. Either you may have faulty spark plugs, dirty fuel injectors, or leaky vacuum hose.
Hi I had p0011 and changed the camshaft intake solenoid. After that I noticed p0016 and p0017 turned on meaning the timing was off. Do I have a stretched timing chain that jumped a tooth?
I changed the cam shaft ocv solenoid on my 2015 Chevy Cruze ls check engine light went away and I plugged in sensor back in after week light comes on with same code p0011 and will turn off after awile any ideas why this is happening
Hi, I have the P0011 code bus also other codes. Can you help me? We went to the garage and they repliced our chain and they flushed the automatic transmission after that the problem just got worse. Thank you!
Hey getting P0011 and P0021 on Nissan Murano 2009 changed vvt and camshaft sensors. Car barely wants to start and when it does doesn’t want to move in drive and slowly moves in reverse. Would definitely appreciate a response haven’t tried anything in this video yet but apparently the problem started after an oil change so I’m thinking they put conventional or the wrong oil or something.
Hello, getting both of these codes signifies an issue with the variable valve timing control system. We suggest checking the wiring to the camshaft oil control valve, timing chain alignment and the camshaft phasers for any issues. Also, the oil viscosity might be incorrect.

Hi please I wanted to know if you get a p0011 code on Toyota Corolla le 2005 model do you need to open the engine to set the timing chain
Does this count for a Kia Forte 2017
I got this code on my 07 Yukon Denali 6.2L.
Can this process still work?
Do I need to reset it after changing the oil?
My car sometimes blue smoke and sometimes water throwing what’s the problem
That explains a lot. Whenever I get an oil change this error message goes away for a few weeks, it normally comes back.
Do you have changed the valve?
P0011, changed my oil, cleared it out. Going to run it for a day hopefully that was an easy fix

Hello, we recommend a digital multimeter as it provide more accurate readings and it's much easier to read.
Ohms.
