    Prius gen 2 2007 model , mileage 270K , consuming oil half litre every 2000km recently it was low on engine oil top up oil and check engine light blinks
    Tried to cleaned solonoid after that cleaned vvt filter as well. But check light is still on.
    It's giving dtc p0012 . Changed vvt solonoid with newone but still same. Prius average dropped from 17 km/ltr to 13km. Poor acceleration. Mostly during driving engine is supported by battery bank.
    I have tried almost every clue available in internet but so far no luck.

    Maybe you have timing change stretch with the low oil problem and oil consumption problem with your mileage the low gas mileage the VVTI part and all of that seems to me like you may be in trouble in the valve train department stretched chain etc It is certainly something worth looking into You may be able to roll the car with the valve cover off or rather roll the engine around with the valve cover off and see how much slop is actually in the chain Good luck my friend.
