2.2 JTS P0011 P0010 fault codes!

Check engine light fault codes "P0011 & P0010". These fault codes are caused by the variable valve timing phase adjusters (solenoids). In this video we are going to replace these.

Thank you for this video, for real! I have an 09' Selespeed Brera with P0013, P0014 and P0301 (misfire) due to 13&14 fault and i hope this will work for me.

Hi Jim, really appreciate your passion and skills in DIY the maintenance of these beauties. Great work! I recently come across the exact some fault codes and this video came to my rescue. I probably will go for the cheaper GM-compatible alternatives, too. Just wondering how is the reliability of these NYT solenoids? Where are they manufactured? Did the fault codes appear again after replacement? Sorry for all the questions, cheers mate!!

[@939driver]

Hi Bryan, thanks very much. They are super. I have no fault codes pop up any more. And driven throughout the entire rev range 👌 Really, I suggest going for these. The Alfa Romeo version are probably just rebranded same items. Cheers 🍀✌️

@@939driver so p0010 is intake sensor the one with the white head right

[@AdAstra78]

Weird, I've recently had exactly the same issue. Codes 10 and 11 came up. I was told that indicates that the timing chain is about to go. Since resetting the codes the 'check engine' light hasn't come back on though and the car is running perfectly. I've done maybe 10 separate trips (50 miles maybe) since and everything is OK. I'm.still uneasy about it though so I may take your approach. Your video is great timing though!. There is very little online about it... Cheers and best of luck with yours 👍

[@939driver]

Thanks Tim! 🍀🙏✌ yeah P0016 is timing chain, but P0010 amd P0011 can be fixed by replacing the solenoids, or in some cases just cleaning them 😁💪

[@AdAstra78]

@@939driver Music to my ears! I did have a 'specialist' say I should get the chain done, but then quoted me £2500..(!) That's the main reason i thought, screw it, the car feels and sounds great, I'll put it down to italian electrics 😉 Think I'll take the path you took. Financially appealing and, I may be naive here, but I figure if the chain is going to go I'll probably hear that it doesn't sound right before it's too late (famous last words..) Thanks again (your car's looking stunning by the way. I've got the standard silver trim against the red leather, yours is a really nice, subtle contrast to that)

[@939driver]

@@AdAstra78 yeah that's crazy!! A lot of 2.2 JTS owners on the Alfa forums had the same fault codes and only changing the solenoids (with the GM cheaper versions) solved all issues 🙏🙌 Thank you m8!! Very classic combo the silver with red and beige leather 🍀

Is it hard to pull out the intake sensor ? Should I put force

[@939driver]

No heavy force needed, you can take them gently out with a pulling motion

[@mysteriousguysuniverse5244]

@939driver great just received the part today. I will install it and put an updated review. Codes are p0010 and p0013

[@mysteriousguysuniverse5244]

Changed the intake sensor but still getting the p0010 code. Any suggestions. After replacing I cleared it but after starting the car the 3rd time it came back

[@939driver]

Hard to tell from not standing next to the car. But I would suggest changing both intake and exhaust solenoid and giving the car a fresh oil change. Could be that some gunk in the oil travels through the solenoid and block it. And could also be faulty connection.

[@mysteriousguysuniverse5244]

@939driver thanks I will check that

[@VedadColic]

Hi Jim, Ive done this today, but I didnt reset the errors. Should I wait to ECU reset them or should I do it via OBD? Thanks your videos are awesome!

[@939driver]

Thanks man! Yes you can clear them with the OBD, and then they should not come back when the solenoids are replaced. 🙏🍀

[@VedadColic]

@@939driver Update: So I've had this error like 3 years ago and after cleaning solenoids it turned off. This time I changed them with something German Schaffner INA - 60€ a piece. Since I did it last night car was on 5th turning circle since change and there was no error in the morning. Thanks and this is just an update for your future knowledge + feels like car is pulling better and has less hesitation. 159 1.9 JTS 2006 210k km

Where did you purchase the solenoids from? Have you had any issues with your coolant level going down? Mine is a 2.2 Brera. Many thanks.

Hey man, I bought them from Italy-Motors 🍀 I never had an issue with cooling level luckily. Cheers

[@mysteriousguysuniverse5244]

Just popped up p0010 . Cleared it with obd2. Since my fault code is only p0010. Should i change both or just one? Appreciate your video and reply

I cleaned the engine bay once before a long time ago, and I only drive it in good weather. That's how it stays really clean. Also wipe it occasionally with quick detailer and a microfiber

You panicked a bit? Imagine how much I had panicked yesterday when I bought 159 and 2 minutes after, as soon as I merged to the highway, I heard beeps and Check Engine warning on the dash. 🤣 I have a P0010 code. But I have a paper from the service, a year and a half ago, where they tried cleaning both valves, due to the permanent fault codes. So I will be changing both of them. What is the thightening torque for the solenoids/valves? BTW, what happens when the battery is disconnected? Does it lose audio system codes, time and date, and so on?

[@939driver]

Hahaha. Tightening of solenoids is 9-10 Nm.

When disconnect ling battery, windows and odometer display needs to be resetted

Yea p0016 is probably stretched chain. I done the cam chain on mine p0016 code is no more 😁 other systems of streched chain is a slight variation in revs on idle loss of power in the mid range. I was also getting solinoid code that has also cleared after doing chain. Good video bud 👍
