    Original VVT unit from my mps6, you can see the severe wear from only 44000k

    This photo clearly demonstrates the poor design of the OEM VVT actuator on the earlier models - these units have a very limited life span.

    It wasn't making the noises that a failed vvt will but it couldn't of been far off!

    I think mine might be on the way out, how much is this fix?

    And to further xliquidx's (straight edge? :-/ ) question, is there an aftermarket solution? More to the point, can we remove the VVT all together and smash in some dirty big cams?

    A DCR or revised factory VVT are both around $250+ Im sure there is a thread in here on replacement costs and from memory around $700 rings a bell from mazda.

    DCR assure Me their VVT unit is %100 successful and have had no failures.
