1.6 vti dephaser cam hub settings

Unread post by Carmadrob »

hi im getting two codes popping up p11a8 and p11a9 inlet and exhaust timing, im going to check timing etc with locking tools but not sure how to check the cam dephaser sprocket to see if they are ok , if crank and cams are set with tools are there any markings on sprockets and if there is where should they be if set correctly, ive fitted new inlet/exhaust selenoids already but still same codes, any help would be great thanks

What is the history of the engine?

If your timing still has the factory settings you may well find that the notch/arrowhead on the rear face of the Vanos sprocket is at 12 o'çlock when you have set up the timing tools. You may also find sources on the net that would have you align the four oil supply holes in the ends of the camshafts to the corresponding ones in the Vanos units. This is not necessary and would make the job of setting the timing very difficult. The channel in the Vanos unit is sufficiently deep that oil will pressurize the units regardless of the position of the oil supply holes. In the Haynes manual on the 308 (#5561) you will find information on testing the Vanos units. The starting point is checking the position of the hole in the inner shaft with the housing.

Hello,
I had problems with timing chain on my Peugeot 308 year 2009 with 1.6 VTi (5FW) engine.
I changed timing chain, tensioner and bottom sprocket. After 1 day codes P11A8 and P11A9 appeared. I replaced both solenoid valves but codes are still there.
Car starts poorly, sometimes feels “laggy” and its sound is different - deeper than before especially at around 2500 to 3000 RPM.
When we assembled the timing chain we did not check the orientation of the sprocket above.
Could it be any other issue or is it more than likely sprocket orientation?
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards. Nik
