Thread: exhaust solenoid

my exhaust solenoid has oil in the sucket, does it mean i need replace? is oil coming up the solenoid because it cant hold oil pressure?

i have replace this with another one i got from a friends ve that was working properly, now i place it on my motor and i keep finding oil on the sucket like pic shows


note:both cams still activate

what's a sucket...

Yes you need to replace.

hahaha im guessing a socket

lol the opening u plug ur harness into

From my memory... all VE´s that came through my hands had oil in exhaust solenoid.

then in that case

can anyone else confirm this? well someone that has both vvl solenoids operating correctly, just need to confirm is exhaust solenoid is has oil in it even though it works

to me it looks like the solenoid is not holding the oil pressure correctly thus it leaks out

neither of my engines have oil in the plugs like that

nice, thanks.

i guess this is what bad solenoids do that and not activating ur vvl either haha

The solenoids are bad when they leak oil like that, a very common problem. They still work when you clean the oil out,but it's just a bandaid.

mine has had some oil for a while now, no problems with VVL engagement!
