VVT Adv Angle L and R stuck?

Hi team,

Car has been rough idling and hesitating on low rpm, had it on the scan tool today and on idle and :
VVT adv. ang amount L = 0 deg
VVT adv. ang amount R = 0 deg

I then revved it to about 3000-5000rpm and noticed that the degrees only increase to about 3 or 4 degrees with only after holding the revs for abit; it looked something like this:
VVT adv. ang amount L = 3 deg
VVT adv. ang amount R = 0 deg
This can't be normal..

Where do I go from here? I've read some of the posts on here in regards to avcs and banjo bolt filter clogging issues,
my question is how many banjos are there that I need to check/remove/clean?
Also something about cleaning solenoids? Abit confused about it all sorry
Does anyone have diagrams of what it looks like where they are located in the engine bay?

please advise!

Thank you :)

Was that for intake or exhaust?

From what Ive gathered, the banjo below the turbo supplies the turbo and right OCV (oil control valve) There is a banjo bolt behind the left hand timing cover for the left intake OCV.

The 2 exhaust OCV's are accessible from the bottom of the engine. There is a procedure in this site for cleaning the OCV but you will have to use Google to search for OCV because the search function on this site doesnt allow words less than 4 characters

Why not diagnose it as suggested in the many posts I've made on the subject?
Because that is NOT the correct procedure.

It's even in the FSM.
