Vtec soleniod leaking
so i took my car into the stealaship to locate the source of my oil leak. They have told me that it is coming from my soleniod, and then quoted me for a new soleniod itself, for the low price of 300 bucks. My question is should i attempt to replace the oring and filter my self before going ahead and getting a whole new soleniod? any one know how much the coleniods generally run not from the dealership?

Im not sure if they are the same... here try this website and compare the 93-95 EX (EJ1) to the 99-00 SI (EM1)

I know D and B series VTEC solenoids are interchangable, the gaskets should sure as hell be the same , also check to see if the dizzy o-ring is leaking

Re: Vtec soleniod leaking (sicones)
Not the same, I thought they were but found out the hard way. Let's say in terms of civic VTEC solenoids, the 92-95 version differs from the 96-00 version. I'll see if I can take some pics tomorrow.
Side note: I have a first gen B16A head and a B18C1 head (99 I believe) and the 92-95 Solenoid fit both.

I have a spare $13.00 o-ring here just in case I needed it.
Change it yourself, it's a piece of cake.

Re: Vtec soleniod leaking (gwegcivic)
haha... dude u spelled solenoid like 9 different ways haha....
#1. Yes its a peice of cake job.
#2. Yes all obd1-2 civic vtec solenoids are interchangeable, take for example a Z6 and B16A... They dont look the same but do both infact work on same applications... The pressure switch is just in a different spot that's all..
#3. You can most likely get a vtec solenoid from the junk yard for like 10-15 bucks if you can manage to take out all 2 or 3 bolts yourself lol..
#4. YOU CAN DO IT..!!

The cam seal is back in that area too and its pretty notorious for leaking, check that if you do have a B series in there
