Mine seems to be solved!!

So what happened. As I posted, he light only came up occasionaly. Wit a car with only 10k kilometers on it. For me his was an indication it was a faulty part and/ or electrical problem. As the code gives you information it can only be a number of parts which are involved.

P0017 was the code I got, so I could track it to he right bank. First I changed the camshaft position sensor, no change. I cleaned plugs and played around with te cables, no change. I tested the oil regulator of he car, nothing seems out of order.

At last I found a movie clip on youtube from someone talking about defective oil pressure regulators which keeps sticking in a subaru engine giving the same fault code. So I eventually did order a new regulator (65€) and voila problem is solved.

So to anyone with the same code coming on occasionally!! Not permanent. Try changing your oil regulators to another bank and check the code. If it moves along to the other bank, it is sticking!

I guess mine was sticking due to the fact it was/ is not being used to often.
