Auris check engine light VANOS issue

Check engine light on my 2018 Toyota Auris gasoline, fuel consumption increased. Mileage 81965 km. Suspect inlet VANOS mechanics, maybe camshaft solenoid valve. Thoughts?

Similar symptoms on my Auris. Check for error codes? Mine was VANOS solenoid. Before swapping, check the wiring harness and connector to the solenoid valve. Loose connections cause issues. Is the engine running rough?

Codes point to the inlet camshaft. Haven't checked the harness yet. Engine feels less smooth. Sound familiar?

Sounds familiar. Likely VANOS solenoid. Cleaning or checking resistance is an option, but I'd suggest a workshop. Faulty VANOS can cause more damage.

Workshop confirmed inlet VANOS solenoid. Replaced it for 250€. Check engine light gone, fuel consumption normal. Thanks!
