Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Intake and Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Variable Valve Timing Solenoids for GM Chevrolet Malibu, HHR, Buick, Pontiac - 2.0L, 2.2L, 2.4L - Replaces OEM Part Numbers: 12655420, 12655421 by Kevin Jacobson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

the machine runs smoothly and the defect was not damaged by my negligence

These solenoids saved me from a big argument with my husband (see below for details). My Equinox started skipping and shutting down in neutral or low gear. I received a free diagnosis from an online auto shop that provided me with two important pieces of information: the fault code and the recommended replacement part. After researching online and making a few calls to local auto repair shops (to determine the cost of the repair), I figured I could do the job myself. Luckily, Revain had parts at an extremely reasonable price, and I was lucky enough to live on the Prime market with free shipping for a day. With the help of a well-made YouTube video, I quickly fixed my car and saved over $200 without going to a mechanic! How did you save me from a quarrel with my husband? Well, I got a speeding ticket earlier this week and he wasn't happy about it. I countered that any other time I wouldn't think twice and just pay a ridiculous amount of money to get my car fixed. But since I got the ticket, I feel the need to save some money. Great news, I ended up saving more than the ticket cost! And my husband was impressed that this girl got her car fixed and she moves on. I'm a chicken dinner winner my friends.
