Mysterious18. — Toyota Platz, 1.5 liter, 2002
Quite a long time ago, a problem was noticed in the baby - there is no pickup at low speeds, cars do not go stupidly. And then the check engine light started to come on and off. We went to check, as the check advises. Counted errors. It turned out that one is the 18th =)
The first visit was of course the DMRV and the vvt-i valve itself. Did not help.
The second approach incorporated the position of the chain and the clutch. Dismantled, fidgeted, scratched. Didn't do anything, but the car started to drive better. So we think maybe he just had a chain? =)
UPD: The chain has been replaced, the car drives and does not blink.
They changed it cheaply, but they did it by acquaintance. There's a lot to disassemble. I don’t remember the price, but it beats leshko according to the existential, everything is original.
Why was the chain changed? it's just that the time has come for me to replace it too))) it thunders terribly ...
and it would also be interesting how much the kit was bought
