Variocam actuator bank 2

Variocam actuator bank 2
jbabington replied to jbabington's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Thank you Ahsai! I've already tested bank 1 & 2 engagement where bank 1 is working and bank 2 is not as rev does not change. I can see where the actuator is located (just above bank 2 header) but I haven't traced where the solenoid is located but assume I should find easily when I take out air filter box. Can I simply take out the solenoid and/or actuator and place back in without doing any additional steps? I will follow your steps as I'd rather not take off the header to get to the actuator and I hope it's the solenoid as it's less costly. Thank you again for your direction! -
Variocam actuator bank 2

Can I simply remove/pull out the variocam actuator in bank 2 (or bank 1 for that matter) to possibly clean or replace then simply insert back in without doing anything else? I would like to do this to trouble shoot to see if I can get the actuator to engage with Durametric (of course the engine will not be running). If it doesn't engage then I would then move to the the solenoid. I have seen videos where they can be cleaned and start working again however the videos I've seen have the variocam actuator completely taken out and set on a work bench. My concern is if I do this wrong I create a larger problem when inserting back in. Any advice, thoughts, questions or comments? Thanks, John
