00:00If your check engine light is on and your engine is running rough, hesitating, or throwing a
00:04camshaft timing code, a bad VVT solenoid is usually the culprit. I went through thousands
00:10of listings and found the best deals out there for the top 5 VVT solenoid valves for engine timing,
00:15so let's get into it. First up, we've got this original VVT valve set for Chevrolet Malibu,
00:21Captiva, Pontiac, GMC, and Opel and Thorough models. It's a direct fit replacement for part
00:27numbers 1265-5420 and 1265-5421, and with nearly 5,000 sold and a perfect 5-star rating,
00:36people clearly trust it. At just 15 bucks, it's a no-brainer if you're chasing that P0011 or P0013
00:43code on a GM vehicle. Next, for the Hyundai and Kia crowd, here are two exhaust and intake variable
00:49timing solenoids that fit the Santa Fe, Tucson, Sorento, and Sportage. You're getting both
00:55solenoids in one kit for $17.39, which is a solid deal since most people replace them as a pair
01:02anyway. With over 4800 sold and a 4.4 rating, this is a proven fix for those 24355-2G500 and
01:1024375-2G500
01:12part numbers. Third on the list, these two engine oil-controlled VVT solenoids are built for the
01:18Chevrolet Cruze 1.6 and 1.8, plus the Vauxhall and Opel Astra and Zephyra. The 5556-7050 part
01:26number matches up perfectly, and with a 5-star rating across more than 4,800 sales, folks are
01:32clearly happy. For $19 for the pair, it's way cheaper than what the dealer will charge you.
01:38Coming in fourth, this exhaust VVT valve is for Volvo owners with the C70,
01:43S60, S80, V70, XC70, and XC90. Part number 3135-5829 gets you sorted,
01:51and at only $12.16, it's the cheapest option on this entire list. It's got a flawless 5-star
01:58rating and over 4,800 sold, so if you're driving a Volvo with timing issues, this is the one to
02:03grab.
02:04And finally, for Honda and Acura fans, this OCV oil-controlled VVT solenoid fits the RSX,
02:10Civic, Accord, CR-V, and Element from 2003 to 2011. It matches part number 917 to 224 and 15810 or
02:20A03, and with a 5-star rating and 4,600 sold, it's a trusted pick. Yes, it's the priciest at
02:28$39.99,
02:30but it's still a fraction of the OEM cost and it just works. So there you have it,
02:35the top 5 VVT solenoid valves for engine timing, all with thousands of happy customers behind them.
