Ecotec 1.4 P0016 P0017 Try this first! Cleaning of camshaft valves and actuators, no parts needed 

If this didn’t work for you, you will most likely need to change out the timing chain and all the components. I have a very detailed video on how to do that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Agbsanjq_jA.html

A very good teaching video and i will do as you say, its a 1.4 non turbo GM car, so thank you from Cheshire UK.

Nice advice I've done this several times budd ...it does work...but sometimes it's a lil bit more but awesome information budd... changing the oil is a big one.

I put a new time in about oil change make sure everything was on right the way it's supposed to be reset the code in the p016 keeps coming back camshaft sensor replace camshaft sensor reset the code and still coming back been like that for years now it runs great thank God for that

Yes you can buy the seals separately , one per package so get two. I would replace the rubber seals regardless of the condition of the old one, cheap insurance. Make sure to note when you take the old seal off which side goes towards the actuator as the seal actually has one side that is slightly different than the other. Brake cleaner is great stuff but wouldn’t MAF Sensor cleaner be better to use in this case because it doesn’t leave any “ residue “ and you don’t want to chance it with these vital parts.

Man this video was AWESOME & FULL OF INFO. Thank you Sir. Great job

You kickass!!!! My clip was broken! 60,000 miles! I subscribed right on the spot lol

Great video 👍

Very informative,easy to understand

Well what else should I try because I did the timing chain and guides and cleaned everything from this video. I am at a loss any help would be appreciated

Thanks for the video - I was always wondering how these worked on my car specifically. I can't say I've seen this type outside the GM 1.4L turbo engine. Lots of vids for the 1.8L engine but not this one. What's your experience with regards to exhaust vs intake ratio of problems? Is one more common than the other. I think I have seen many exhaust videos for the 2.$L gm ecotech. Just wondering if you seen any trends. Great job at explaining. ++ Subscribed.

Great video. Thank you very much.

Hi Mr. B, Thanks for the detailed video, excellent effort. My girlfriend just took herself out and bought a 2016 Holden Astra...aka (ASTRO Girl) She is very capable, as I teach her and she loves to learn all about her cars... I had a heart attack thinking it had the LUJ/LUV 1.4 Turbo... not an engine I would remotely want or laud about,. However it was the LE2 engine...a somewhat completely sorted powerplant. Now, may I suggest the title or explanation about your work mention whether it is a Ecotec 1.4L turbocharged DOHC I4 LE2 or the LUJ/LUV series engine. This eases confusion for YOUR World audience. FYI, to date I have seen little to zero complaints on the LE2 engine...do you have any advice on known problems with the LE2 engine? Thank you in advance. Keep up the good work.

Hello sir , does the camshaft sprocket have timing mark ? Because I disconnect the sprocket from camshaft can you give an idea how to set it back the sprocket to the camshaft . Thank you Sir for your RU-vid channel it’s help me a lot . God bless you sir

Wow, great tutorial! More please

Why is mine stuck? I can only get the cylinder, o-shape clip, and spring out. But not the assembly with the filter.

I likelE dU nEd timing chain.. bt in the mEntIm.. wat makesU think the oil fluency effects the rotation speed of the exaust or intake camshafts?(not sayng U R rong).. this makes me wanna try that maroon oil treatment stuff(well known but forget name)✋😒

2012 kia sorento crank no start code came up P0076 P0079 p0031 p0445 p0091 p0037 what to check

Good video. Thanks

what happens when you just have p0017 by itself? i have that on my 2008 e350 mercedes

i got a vauxhall insignia 2016 showing p0016. Same steps you reckon?

Just use some marvel mystery oil and every 4 tanks use 93 once a year use 1 can of berrymans kemtool 12 300 grand

What was the running issue with the car prior to this, or was it just the code ? I’ve got the P0017 on the same engine. I took the rocker cover off and the chain doesn’t appear to be slack up top anyway. The symptoms I have are sluggish on power and throaty engine note. Thanks

Hello, will this work for a P0011..? I have a real short rattle at a cold start and a P0011 but no CEL. Or is there another solution? I want to try everything before I replace the full timing chain and everything around.

How do check voltage on those ?

What type of cleaner
