Review on Spectra Premium VTS1086 Variable Solenoid by Jay Jeong

I ended up not installing it because it didn't suit my application (my fault; the problem was misdiagnosed) but it was well done. Machining has left some burrs which is somewhat to be expected but could potentially cause a problem as this is an internally lubricated part in line with the oil pump. Metal chips usually do not bode well for combustion engines. However, the imperfections were very small and would likely never create a problem large enough to be considered significant. Remember this is a REVERSE THREAD (clockwise to remove, counterclockwise to install) and good luck finding a removal tool. I personally didn't spend much time searching, but it was several hours of googling. I'm sure someone somewhere knows where to find it, but like I said I didn't need the part. Oh, and YES, it's 100% for the VW 2.0TSI engine. I have 2009 but as far as I know it's good until 2013. Possibly later models, but I can't say for sure.
