My completely stock 2014 has been in and out of the dealership for the 0018 code. 13k miles.

First time in, they just reset it. Came back a block away from the dealer.

Second time, they updated the ECU and topped my oil off, plus some drive cycles. Came back on a block from the dealer.

Third time, they replaced the AVCS oil valve, plus some drive cycles. Came back on two blocks from the dealer.

Fourth time, SOA says to replace ECU and then possibly the sprocket on the affected cam. Still waiting for the ECU to come in.

I will post an update when I get the car back.



ugh
