Asked by GreenTurtle Jul 12, 2019 at 07:03 PM about the 2012 Subaru Outback 2.5i

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Here's an additional question about the engine variable timing solenoid for a
2012 Subaru Outback, 4 cylinder: I was told the car has two solenoids. If so, is
it possible to determine which one needs to be replaced? Is it
smart/reasonable to replace both solenoids? Thanks

The trouble code should tell you which bank on the engine is the issue.
