    Default 1.8 VVT Cam pulley knock

    Hi everyone, iv have recently change the VVT solenoids after my engine started knocking and also lagging abit in the power up hill, I took it to a garage plus I also looked on here and various other places saying the knocking was the VVT solenoids and to change them, so I did and it’s still knocking.

    How do i remedy the camshaft pulley from knocking without it costing too much?

    Was that you asking the same on Facebook ? As I said there a flush and oil change may help but you do risk making any leak worse. Did get some success on the wife's Astra, but a year or so later gave up and changed the pulleys

    Yes I have put a post on fb asking about it but only got one comment back saying change the pulleys, but I’ll do a flush and oil change at some point, not long since changed the oil, about a thousand miles ago or so, so don’t really want to change the oil again that’s all
