do you have to drain the oil first?
2021 and im learning this now lol thank you so much for the video
You are the man! My girlfriends forester is throwing that same code, glad it’s a pretty easy fix. Had trouble finding a video just replacing the solenoid. Really helped me out man, thank you for your video!
Great vid thank you!
Really the best video ! Thank you so much ! 🙂
Hello does the 2003 forester xs have this vvt part # ??
Thanks Bob!
Very good video man my forester has same code. It came about in the hiway when i went hunting last week. At the hunt i almost couldnt start my car it was cranking for about 5 secs. Scared the hell out of me although it has not had any rough driving yet i will repkace it today or tomorrow. Double thumd up dude!
Where did you get the replacement part and what brand is it? All the local parts stores are asking over $100 for this part and i am finding plenty online ranging from $20-80$ but none from known brands and not sure if they will be reliable or not.
does the P0026 code also throw on the BRAKE and Trac Control lights? i might just have another problem, thanks for the video.
Why not test the solenoid before removing and replacing it? With this issue it may be the pressure switch or the solenoid and you're just guessing by replacing it. Especially if it is an intermittent issue the CEL may go away and make it appear fixed when it isn't.
Edit: This video is excellent for how to replace the part in question and here is a recent video I found that describes the diagnosis as well https://youtu.be/DGiXu229ttY
Thank you. Very informative
You are correct about not many videos on P0026. It a slightly harder job doing the P0026 than the P0028. I am waiting for the VVT to arrive and I am glad I saw this video. It confirmed that what I expected for the job was correct and look forward to doing this job.
Is it the same part for both sides?
Can you drive with a VVT code without damaging the engine?
thanks for showing the location. could not find this one! found it on driver side though!
nice job, no bs just right to it
You can use a 3/8 ratchet, don't have to jump to a 1/2 right away. Just saying. Other than that goog video.
Awesome!! Thanks for making this video.
Would the vvt solenoid still be in the same place (to the left of the engine block) on a 07 subaru outback??
Thanks very much for your help
Thank you!! I thought my cv boot was leaking but I couldn't find a tear. After checking my oil level and the effected area I'm almost certain the solenoid is leaking everywhere! Again thank you!
I change both of them and it still comes up a p0026 any ideas after that
Change the oil before doing this! Shit old oil is what makes this go bad.
Thank you Bob!
Best video on this error! Thank you for putting it up.
part # is: 10921AA040 for my subaru impreza 2006. Mine’s leaking but no code, i hope the new one will stop leak’s. (sorry for my english i speak french)
great job thanks
