Barra VCT Solenoids - which one in which Barra? DIY Guide.

[@tow3lie773]

Good to know for late BA and BF guys like my self. Swap to FG one👍 Thanks for sharing

[@Horus_Works]

Exactly! Makes life much easier 👍

[@jesus_built_my_hotrod]

This did help me out, thank you

Awesome to see that mate - a few differences in the Falcon VCT solenoids and not much info online about that - so thought I'd share this quick vid.

Thanks, very informative 👍

[@Horus_Works]

Good job bro.

[@Horus_Works]

Thanks brother - hope it was unseful info 👍

Since the late bfs and the fgs are the same would I get away with grinding or sanding that screw bracket down so it can just slide in and out

[@Horus_Works]

Interesting question. I haven't done this myself, but I would assume so, yes.

[@Blitzy4243]

@ I’ve been thinking all day if it would work or not and you just boosted my confidence that It will. After work I shall do it

[@Horus_Works]

@@Blitzy4243 if you have a look at the vid at 2:25 they are the same diameter so it should work. The mesh screen design is slightly different, but I doubt that will effect anything 👍

@@Horus_Works if it’s just a filter it should be fine

[@Blitzy4243]

Maybe I’ll tape up around it so I don’t get metal dust stuck in it

Anyone know if 2007 ghia territory’s have the same VCT solenoids as Fg or bf ?

[@Horus_Works]

You would have a BF Barra in an 07 Territory, so if no one has changed solenoids on your car before, you will have the BF type.

[@kenwarne5182]

What about naming the year of bf not just saying late model

[@Horus_Works]

I may have misspoke mate - all BFs should be identical, the 20mm screw in type solenoids. It's the late model BA's that are different. From May 2004 onwards BAs will be the same as all BFs, and before then BAs will be the 18mm narrower solenoids.
