Peugeot 206 VANOS Solenoid Issue

My 2011 Peugeot 206 diesel has been a nightmare lately! The check engine light is on, and my fuel consumption has gone through the roof. I suspect it's the inlet VANOS mechanics. Could be the camshaft solenoid valve or a power supply issue, I guess. Anyone else experienced this VANOS craziness?

Sounds like what happened with my 206. The check engine light was the first sign. I know it is a stupid question, but did you check the VANOS solenoid?

Yeah, I checked the VANOS solenoid, or at least I tried. It's like trying to understand quantum physics! How did you figure out it was the VANOS for sure?

It’s definitely the VANOS. Just go to the workshop, the mechanics will check the timing chain, the VANOS solenoid and power supply. In my case it was the VANOS solenoid, and they fixed it immediately.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to the shop, and you were spot on – faulty VANOS solenoid. Cost me around 250€, but at least the check engine light is gone, and the fuel consumption is back to normal. I appreciate the help!
