99 T5 Variable Cam Timing S70

Joe.....you are the "Man".. The dealer mentioned replacing a solenoid and maybe the "hub"..?? I presume that the hub is actuated by oil pressure from the solenoid...but I'm asking questions without actually seeing inside yet. I will look on the weekend. I changed the t-belt about 3 mths ago and didn't take note of the mechanism. I will try cleaning the solenoid but how will I know if it is working..??..and how will I know if the hub is good or bad..?? I have built alot of race engines over the years but never worked on a variable type system. I'm more used to measuring overlap at TDC with a dial indicator and having that remain static during operation. I also now have the check engine warning light on. My OBD2 code reader can't seem to get a fault code. I don't know if it's from the cam timing or ETM that they cleaned. Thanks very much for your help Joe...much appreciated. Gary
