How to Replace Variable Valve Timing Solenoid 2012-2020 Ford Focus 

√ Watch the Video √ Buy The Part at 1A Auto 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ-Parts √ Do it Yourself √ Save Money

When I did mine I couldn't help but think that a relatively minor design change would have allowed them to be replaced without removing the valve cover. They already stick through it. A gasketed bolt could have gone right through the cover to the head.

How do you know if its the intake or exhaust solenoid that needs to be replaced?

THANK YOU! This was an excellent video for someone who has never done this before. I'll be starting with the oil and crossing my fingers but my luck usually isn't that good. So I will more than likely be tying into this project this weekend.

Outstanding video and instructions. Needed this for a Range Rover Evoque which has a bad intake vvt solenoid. Hope I can do it as proficient as you. Thanks

Hi there, It this is the same procedure for a 2018 Focus 1.0 ecoboost? Thanks for your time

Very clear video , nice and slow to catch info.

Thank you! this is what I needed

help, I have a Ford explorer 3.5 xlt and the camshaft chain is cut and my question is if this is why my engine no longer works, or simply change this chain, help me with your knowledge!!! thanks for your videos

Oh yes man thank you. Next week end project.

This is a tutorial from the shop and you did not even show how to replace the gasket and the seals for the variable valve timing solenoid. Shame....

What is the difference between the VVT and VCT solenoid on the ford focus?

I’ve order 3 of these my ford focus is from the uk shipped to jamaica it still leaks oil i’ve now ordered a used original part as i’m assuming maybe the new ones are the issue? Please advise.

I have the p420 code on Ford focus 2012, I have already changed oxygen sensors, will it be possible to solve the error by changing the exhaust valve?

How do you tell which one needs replacement? I have the code P0012

Only replaced the one? Why? If one failed at that amount of miles, you want to do everything all over again when the other fails? Do both while you are already there..

I would replace both at the same time.

Helped me out a lot! Thank you sir!

Will it be the same on a 2014 Ford escape?

ayuda, tengo una Ford explorer 3.5 xlt y se corto la Cadena del árbol de levas y mi duda es si por esto mi motor ya no sirve, o simplemente cambiar esta Cadena ayúdame con tu conocimiento!!! Gracias por tus videos

Quick question: Should I have my battery unplugged before replacing the solenoids, or does it not matter?

Same for ford transit?

Do you have a vid for a 2015 ford explorer the VCT.

Hi chief, I just replaced the valve cover gasket after everything was put back together, all of a sudden I got the check engine light on so I scanned it and is giving me code P0013 ( B Camshaft position actuator A control circuit / Open Bank 1). Is that code related to that selenoid you replaced??

Is the intake and exhaust the same sensor so I can replace both

Does this include the 1.0 EcoBoost engine?

How did you know to replace the front one if there’s two?

Have vid for 2018 f 150 3.5

Is there a difference between the 2 solenoids ??? Could I swap them with each other and it run correctly I replaced both of them because I was getting the P0027 code I’m not sure if I should’ve bought two different ones I bought 2 of the same exact ones … I’m still getting the same code

What seal do you need to get for the solenoids?

I got that cod but my motter is ticking
