Engine: S60: - Camshaft VVT Pulley fault??

AlextheKiwi · Jun 11th, 2011, 01:41

Hi everyone,
I have a 2001 S60 Automatic 2.4 Non Turbo. The vehicle started stalling when I put it into drive when it was cold. I did a scan and it threw a fault code which suggested a problem with the VVT Solenoid.

I removed and cleaned the Solenoid and when I replaced it the stalling problem was still there and it was now making a loud clicking noise at certain rev points (clicking sounded like the solenoid, just like in the youtube videos of S40's when they need a new VVT Pulley). I have replaced the Solenoid with a refurbished one but there is no improvement.

So, do you think the VVT Camshaft Pulley needs replacement?

If it was an S40 all evidence would have me convinced, but this is an S60 and I thought that the VVT Camshaft Pulley on these was different and didn't tend to cause these problems.

Any other suggestions/thoughts?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
