My daughter’s 2016 evoque 3.has ck engine light. P0011 code intake timing advanced. No abnormal running or performance issues noted. She took it to a mechanic in the dallas area. The mechanic told her:
1. The intake camshaft timing is off.
2 it is not a vvt solenoid issue. They forced the position from their scanner and the solenoid responded
3. They want to replace timing chain (w guide and tensioner). Two sprockets (presumably both intake and exhaust phasers). And one vvt solenoid (presumably intake). $3200 parts 900 labor.
-looking for a “second opinion”.
my questions.
1. Could thin simply be due to vvt solenoid? Should i simply try this?
2. Can they easily point to chain issues with scanner and rule out solenoid? Or are they feeding her bs.
3. Should she be concerned aboul operation car and doing damage?
3 shop or ithere recommendations. Dallas area
thank you.
