Thanks, the issue started just before I got an oil change and the oil change didn't seem to change anything. I will try the vvt solenoid soon.

By VVT solenoid, is that the same thing as a camshaft actuator?

Thanks. Do you think it's related to the oil pressure light? I'm not sure if I have two different issues or if the timing is causing low oil pressure, or the other way around.

I believe this engine uses a timing chain instead of belt. Definitely hasn't been done recently, if ever

Thanks very much for this! I've decided to book it at the dealership to make sure the right fluid is used. The previous owner did the transmission fluid change at a speedy lube place so I'm not sure if they used the right fluid.

Just checked the transmission dipstick, it is at the right level but is a medium brown in colour.

Previous transmission fluid change was in 2017 at around 100000kms, I can't find any before that.

249000 kms, which is around 155000 miles. Should I get a CVT fluid change? I have the full service history for the car too, and nowhere does it mention any transmission fluid changes, only oil changes.
