Gentlemen - above is a photo of the 2 inlet cam phasers. Notice that the sensor plate on the left (R) is rotated about 5 degrees further anti clockwise than that on the right . (L) . In addition, when I released the torque on the bolt holding the left unit on , the sensor plate sprang back about 15 degrees. Could anyone please advise as follows.
1. The back of the units is held is place by a bunch of 5 point torx type set screws. Is the unit easily serviceable if I remove these screws ?
2 How can I bench check that the units are working properly ?
3. Where can I get a new / recon unit If I have to?
I am convinced that at least one unit is not working , as I keep getting the P0016 code even with new timing chains .
Any advice would be gratefully received !
