P0013 code question 2000 volvo xc70

Post by NugMugs »

Hello, I recently got an OBD2 scanner and wanted to test my XC70. I got only one code, luckily, but it is a code I am not familiar with (P0013). Any causes for this code to appear? Any information/advice would be helpful.

Your car has a CVVT solenoid on the exhaust cam. It sounds like it may be having issues. I have fought a P0016 on an 02 XC70. Never managed to get to the bottom of it but it was not related to the CVVT solenoid but cam position sensor (it wasn't that or the crank sensor either).

Sometimes this is caused by dirty oil in older cars if the oil changes have been extended. When was the last oil change done?
