Engine System Service Required
Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2019 8:08 pm
Hello All.
about a month ago I was stopped at a set of lights and I got a warning light come up on the dash with the statement "Engine System Service Required".
I read the fault codes and returned "P0012". I then took it to a mechanic who removed the rocker cover and checked my timing chain, which I was told is completely fine (no stretching). I was then told that the error pertained to a faulty VVT. The mechanic changed this out for me however roughly 24hrs after I left the mechanic, I was stopped at the very same traffic light and the same warning has come up.
I relented and got my timing chain replaced, however once again, i was stopped in traffic and the light came back on. I'm freaking out a little about this as i've already spent quite a bit trying to fix it, but i'm more worried about driving it (i have no other option) and doing further damage.
Does anybody have some idea of what might be going on?
(P.S. stock ralliart 2013, about 94,000km)
