Summary

"techline summary article - does the engine rattle at startup for about 1 to 3 seconds? What’s happening is the lock pin inside the vtc actuator isn’t holding the actuator properly. This lets the vane turn within the housing, causing a short rattle at startup. At this time, we have countermeasured parts in stock, so go ahead and replace the vtc actuator. A service bulletin with troubleshooting and repair info will be available very soon."
