Hey Vinnie. You're awesome! Super clear video. I thought it was funny that when assembling the thing, the screw came off before it was fully fastened and it wasn't a big deal. You made the whole process look FUN and easy to do - and I have zero background in doing any of this. Awesome, awesome video.
My issue was fixed due to this gentleman right here. I didn't do it myself, but I understood a little bit more about this car and I don't have any background with fixing cars. I owe this guy a beer or something.
I just checked the parts diagram on Subaru’s parts website and it shows that the part numbers for all 4 of the Oil Control Valves is 10921AA231. It also says this part fits (2013-2023 Subaru Crosstreks)
My 2019 Crosstrek has a P0019 code. Crankshaft Position-Camshaft Position Correlation-Bank 2-Sensor B. Would this fix that issue? It has a check engine light in along with two other lights and the trip odometer is blinking. Subaru wanted to rear the whole engine apart.
P0019 seems to be the crankshaft and the bank 2 exhaust camshaft are out of sync, which means there is a timing issue. I would think that this code does not relate to the OCV (oil control valve). The Subaru dealership will probably take a look and find that you need a Timing Chain Replacement or Adjustment.
Great question, it looks like on the parts diagram that the two top OCV’s (A & C) or the intake side are both the same part numbers. Then the two bottom OCV’s (B & D) or the exhaust side are both the same. A & C on the intake side are the same. And then a different one is used for the B & D on the exhaust side.
Would this apply to a NA 2015 forester? I got the same code, same symptoms and my car feels like shit when accelerating from 0-15 and is rough when idling at a stop
Update: I let the car idle for a good 25 minutes. Turned the car off and let it idle again for 10 minutes and went for a test drive. It's feeling alot more stable RPM wise and power delivery feels alot better and consistent from 0--20 mph, where as before it felt jerky and hesitant
I’ve gone ahead and made this replacement, as well as the corresponding sensor, but my Impreza still throws me the P000A code and doesn’t run as smoothly as it should. Any tips on what to follow up on when this service doesn’t remedy the issue?
I haven’t ran into this issue specifically, but if I had to guess, I would say either the New Oil Control Valve is faulty, or maybe your oil is dirty and is causing this new OCV to stick. Have you recently done an oil change? Also is your engine stock? Do you have any tunes on the cars ecu? These are all important questions that can help me better understand why the new OCV hasn’t fixed your problem.
@@VinnieT Changed the oil to see if it would help, haven’t seen any major difference yet though. Cleared the code to see if it was a continuous issue and sure enough it came back again. Everything is stock under the hood.
@@laserward Ok so from what I read online, some causes are Improper oil supply, Contaminated oil, Faulty position sensor, Failed or faulty VVT actuator, Damage to the timing chain, Wiring issues, PCM faults or damage. I’m wondering now if you installed the correct OCV or have they since put out an updated version of it. The best way to find out is to call your local Subaru dealership and ask them for the most updated part numbers for the OCV. Compare to your part numbers to double check that you have installed the most updated one. Other then that, if it’s an updated one, and your oil is clean, then I would assume it has to do with something more serious with the camshaft of your vehicle. The dealership may have a better opinion though, I just personally haven’t ran into this issue.
@@VinnieT Yeah, I have been sweating the possibility that it’s one of the bigger issues mentioned. Was fairly certain I had installed the most updated part, but perhaps I misstepped somewhere. Thanks for the input. Video was very helpful nonetheless.
@@laserward Well I hope that it’s nothing major, please comment if you end up finding out what your issue was so everyone else can have the info too. Thanks for your support.
Are the part numbers specific to each valve A,B,C,D. just got the p000a and want to make sure im getting right part. There is a 231 and a 241 for the parts and not sure if the intake side is the same as the exhaust side
I am not completely sure, but if you can find a parts diagram on your 2015 then you could match the part numbers to confirm they are the same. Also calling a dealership parts department could help you out too.
I suppose you could try that but I don’t know if you will have much luck. It’s worth a shot if your in a pinch, otherwise I would just replace it with a new updated one because they’re cheap.
I’m having similar issues. I see some oil leaking from my OCV but I have no codes. I unplugged the D plug and crunk it to see any changes and didn’t run any different. Could that mean it’s not functioning?
@@912Coop_ yeah I think if the OCV was acting up it would immediately throw codes. But if it’s leaking oil from the OCV then maybe replace the O-ring on it to stop the leak.
Your tutorial is so organized. I didn't have to change the OCV but learned how to change it by heart. Thank you.
Happy to hear this! Thanks for your support!
Thanks for the clear and concise video, no more check engine light cluttering up my dash
Wonderful to hear, glad this helped!

What a fantastic video...exactly describes the situation
Glad this helped!
@@VinnieT Unfortunately my P000B code returned after the OVC replacement
@@VinnieT OCV I meant
@VinnieT could you please list both part numbers? Which is for intake and which is for the exhaust side. Thanks for the video!
I just checked the parts diagram on Subaru’s parts website and it shows that the part numbers for all 4 of the Oil Control Valves is 10921AA231.
It also says this part fits
(2013-2023 Subaru Crosstreks)
@@VinnieT you know whats the difference with 10921AA230?

Does the Oil control valve part number change if the code is A (passenger side intake) versus C (drivers side intake)?

Then the two bottom OCV’s (B & D) or the exhaust side are both the same.
A & C on the intake side are the same. And then a different one is used for the B & D on the exhaust side.
@@VinnieTI can confirm from my install that your answer is correct. A and C intake are the same part. Thanks for the follow up! Great video.
@@aaroncato1 wonderful, thanks for watching!
Very good!
Could this cause a misfire? Been having trouble with cyl 3 misfiring but only the misfire code. Crosstrek only has like 85k miles too....
Would this apply to a NA 2015 forester? I got the same code, same symptoms and my car feels like shit when accelerating from 0-15 and is rough when idling at a stop
My shit stalled out after changing the ocv on bank 1
Update: I let the car idle for a good 25 minutes. Turned the car off and let it idle again for 10 minutes and went for a test drive. It's feeling alot more stable RPM wise and power delivery feels alot better and consistent from 0--20 mph, where as before it felt jerky and hesitant
Yeah I believe the vehicles computer has to re learn and re adjust after the install, it should continue to get smoother and stronger.
@VinnieT It has for sure. You are the goat for posting this bro, been trying to sort this out since November 🫡
Glad you got it figured out! Thanks for your support man!

My Subaru has a P0011 fault could that be fixed by a new control valve? Or something else?

I checked Subarus parts diagram and all 4 of them are the same part number, the 231 is the correct one.
Are these parts compatible with 2015 wrx just threw the code yesterday

Good to know if I ever buy a Subaru
What year is your crosstrek mine is 2014 wondering if it’s applicable
2018, I believe they have the same OCV setup.
Is it possible to just clean it with brake cleaner or diesel?
I suppose you could try that but I don’t know if you will have much luck. It’s worth a shot if your in a pinch, otherwise I would just replace it with a new updated one because they’re cheap.
@@VinnieTcheap
My but . ? When you buy 4. At 129. A peice. 😮
I’m having similar issues. I see some oil leaking from my OCV but I have no codes. I unplugged the D plug and crunk it to see any changes and didn’t run any different. Could that mean it’s not functioning?
What do you mean when you said “crunk it”?
Also if you have no codes then it should be functioning properly.
@@VinnieT I crunk the car. I think I’m having a different issue though. I found the OCV is functioning.

I’m getting a code P0021 ? 2016 legacy
