Problems with the VVT system
This is the first time posting for however I cannot find answers to my specific problem Ill start from the begining. I found an 03’ S60 with the 2.4t and got a great deal on it, wouldnt be later till I found out why. The CEL was lit however when I test drove the car it felt fine. After buying the car I am contacted by a neighborhood “fix it” man who was working on the cars timing system, long story short I wind up with a puddle of tranny fluid in my drive way from his own truck and a gfy from him. I wound up finding out that he attempted a cam seal replacement and didnt lock the cams in place. After having volvo replace the seals for me I still had a CEL the code was for the exhaust cam signal being too low. Fast foreward a couple of years and now I myself have replaced both the cam position sensor and the reset valve. Most recently I have attempted to adjust the resting position of the VVT per VIDA instructions using the locking tools from volvo. Before the job I took a reading of where the cam was and it was sitting at -20 degrees. After adjusting the VVT the cam still read in the same place so Im begining to suspect an electrical issue but thought I would look to the forums before proceeding. Any help would be much appriciated Ive had the car for about two years now and am completely in love with her.
