Solenoid or camshaft timing sensor?
Folks, I got a check engine Light which leads to code P0015:
"B" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Retarded (Bank 1)
Reading more I get that the easiest would be to change the solenoid or the sensor, which should not be hard.
anybody has any advice on this? Anybody went to the dealer for it?
Thanks!

wow, really.. nobody had this problem?
Just an update - so far it looks that this was caused by gas that I put from Arco. After loading a full tank Chevron CEL is off. We'll see if this comes back.
But in case it does then the cam shaft adjuster magnets need to be changed - in case someone else is running into this issue.

Have only had this car for 4 months so I wouldn't be able to help you. But, don't you have a shell gas station by? I only use Shell and BP at times if I'm running low and no Shell around.

Sorry the link doesn't go anywhere.
Of course I don't put bad as in the car but at that time I had no other option. For sure I won't put gas from Arco again.
