Permanent 12v to VVT solenoid, anyone tried it?

Hi,has anyone tried applying a constant 12v to the dephaser solenoid and if so what happened?
Theoretically,would it add power at lower revs or just stall and the dashboard light up.

I assume that you are having problems with the dephaser pulley? Me too.
Maybe someone will answer shortly. I am hoping to change my timing belt and pulley in a month or so. I bought some second hand parts on ebay, so it wont cost too much.
I just get bad starting, and knocking on start up, runs ok.
I would like an easy fix too, not sure how hard it will be.

No, I've been through all that. Seems to be a part of the induction into the hall of Megane ownership

If you follow all the instructions carefully its fairly painless if you are mechanically adept. (I wasn't, this was my first job and I picked a doozy!)

No, I was just wondering because I definitely feel the VVT kick in around 2.2K revs and would like that feeling all the time please
