Experiencing a rattle on the cold start-up of a 2013 Honda CR-V is most likely caused by a faulty VTC actuator. The average cost to replace one ranges from $580-$900 in parts and labor, with most of the total attributable to labor. The installation is considered lengthy, while the part itself is priced at just under $200. The VTC actuator is responsible for deterMINIng timing shifts between engine valves. It does this through information gathered through the VTC system. Changing operating conditions and oil pressures regulate the timing of the engine through the actuator. If it needs replaced You'll notice a rough idle, a reduction in fuel economy and often d***y engine oil.
