Code says I need a new VVT solenoid but I can't find any instructions on how to replace it. There is a youtube video showing how to do it on 2007-12. Would it be the same or similar?
I assume you're getting a P0011 or P0014. Your car has a different engine from the gen1 Versa, those had MR18's and your ride has an HR16. Your ride also has two different VVT's, an IVT for the intake cam and an EVT for the exhaust cam. P0011 is for the iVT, P0014 is for the EVT. On the HR16 both solenoids go directly into the cylinder head, the IVT in front and the EVT in back. The '15 and '16 are pretty much identical, so You can see an exploded view on page EM-60 here:

The IVT isn't difficult to get at, it peeks out from under the plenum on the passenger side. The EVT is more of a PITA because it's under the resonator box and behind the engine nose mount, so there isn't much room. Both are held in by a single 6mm screw and an o-ring (I can't recall if the screw heads are 8mm or 10mm, but it's one of those). If you need diagnostic info for the DTC's, it's here starting on EC-167:
