McLaren Camshaft Phaser FAQs

Trust Executive Auto Service for all your McLaren needs in Las Vegas.

Why are my camshaft phasers worn out?

The camshaft phaser relies on oil pressure to operate. Low oil levels or poor-quality oil can affect its performance, causing timing issues, engine misfires, or strange noises.

Can my engines timing being off affect my camshaft phasers?

Yes. If the camshaft phaser isn't adjusting the camshaft timing properly, it could result in poor engine performance, decreased fuel efficiency, or difficulty starting the engine.

Will my check engine light turn on if my camshaft phasers are damaged?

A malfunctioning camshaft phaser often triggers a "check engine" light, which may show specific error codes related to the variable valve timing system.

Will my McLaren experience this issue?

McLarens equipped with the M838T V8 engine, found in models like the 570S, 650S, and 720S, are particularly prone to this issue.
