| Description of the problem | My 2014 honda crv just crossed 87,000 miles, started with engine rattling noise during cold start, and now got the check engine, steering and traction lights turned on on the dashboard. I took it mechanic and after performing diagnosis they told me that the vtc actuator and timing chain needs replacements. I came to know that it was due to manufacturing defect on the faulty vtc actuator as mentioned in technical service bulletin 16-012. This vtc actuator problem contribute to high oil consumption as mentioned in this link: https://www. Julieannacline. Com/engine- rattles-on-cold-startup-tsb-09-010/ in the recent oil service i was informed that was low engine oil. |
