What are the hazards of VTC actuator noise?

[OArcher]

VTC actuator noise directly affects the engine's lifespan. VTC actuator noise indicates that the technical condition of a certain engine component has changed, primarily caused by excessive wear of some parts or improper assembly and adjustment, which will directly impact the engine's lifespan. Manifestations of VTC actuator noise: 1. Engine noise: There are many possible sources of noise in the engine compartment, and most people can identify it as engine compartment noise based on the sound source. It is usually a metallic screeching or a wind-like noise. 2. Transmission noise: If there is a sand-like sound from the transmission while driving, which disappears when the clutch or accelerator is pressed, or if there is a whistling sound during gear shifting.
