So I have " check engine " light on I plug in my Scan Gauge tool and P0014 popped up?
So my symptoms are erratic idle some times and that damn " check engine " light

New timing belt 5k ago and all looks good with the marks ? 2.5k on the oil change.
So does anybody have any thoughts...

I've not personally experienced this code on any of my cars, it looks like from some quick reading that most report it has to do with the CVVT sensor, either being dirty or bad. If the car started throwing the code immediately after the belt was replaced there is also the possibility the belt is a tooth off. You might try cleaning the sensor to see if that helps, also apparently Volvo has a new gasket with a screen to keep the sensor from getting as gunked up.

Thank you! that's a good tip about the gasket...

How long has the light been on for? The marks lining up on the pulleys isnt enough to be sure the timing is correct, the three outer bolts on the VVT need to be in the rightmost position as well.

It could be a kludged up VVT solenoid, soak the mechanical end in degreaser several times, while excerisign it with 12v. The clean it out with carb cleaner or suchlike. New gasket is essential. New, clean oil would not do any harm either.

Cam sensor while possible, its actualy pretty rare for them to fail. Check the timing and solenoid. Also the freeze frame data from the code might give you a better idea of when this is happening.

Don't touch the cam gear bolts. The bolts can be anywhere in the slots and be correctly set. What determines where the bolts are in the slot is locking the cams with a special tool and having the crank set in the correctly indexed position with another tool inserted in block. The CVVT hub is installed in a roughly determined position and then belt is installed and tightened and the hub is turned to the right to its stop and bolts are torqued. If the initial position is advanced (to right) the bolts are to the left. If the initial position is retarded (to left) then the hub will rotate to right in that final step and the bolts will be to the right in slots. Just turning the hub until bolts stop to the right can place it in wrong position when it may have been OK to begin with.

Okay so I did not do the timing belt my self a shop did it before I got the car/wagon.
Anyway what are these bolts everybody keeps talking about? I've checked the marks on the cam gears and it all seems to line up.
But maybe I'm looking or not looking at the right thing...
