How to replace the Spool Valve of the CWT system on Kia Sportage?

Question

Accepted Answer

The CWT system enhances fuel consumption and decreases the amount of nitrogen oxide (NOx) released into the atmosphere through continuously changing intake camshaft phase and, as a result, valve overlap possibilities. In response to shifting operating conditions, the CWT system varies intake valve timing incessantly. The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor, oil temperature sensor, other sensors, Powertrain Control Module (PCM), oil control valve and CWT assembly itself located on the end of the exhaust camshaft make up the CWT system. The PCM processes this information by taking inputs from several sources such as: Oil Pressure/Temperature; Engines camshafts & crankshafts position; Vehicle speed etc. It then uses this processed information to send signals to open or close an OCV command may be sent by itself in response to some input. Home mechanics are not trained to diagnose faults in the control of VCT systems. However there are components that you can replace at home.
