Review on 🔧 Dorman 917-216 VVT Solenoid for Select Models: Engine Variable Valve Timing Solution by Wendell Chapman

I have a Check Engine Light and DTC (P0013) on my scan tool. My car is a Chevy HHR with a 2.4 Ecotech engine. I checked 4 local parts stores online and all 4 said I have to order and wait 5-7 days. I saved $20 and got a new part in 6 days. It's the exhaust camshaft solenoid! The electrical connections are "keyed" to prevent the installation of an incorrect part. This part is easy to replace. You will need an 8mm screwdriver to remove the air filter, a 10mm socket and 6" extension to remove the retaining screw, and large pliers to pry out the old part. Reassembly is the reverse of removal except you will need an 8mm head for the new screw provided. If you take the old one out, you'll expose the internal oil passages. 2) Be careful with electrical connectors, be patient, don't panic about swapped connectors or inlet and outlet solenoids, these are "keyed" connectors. 3) Apply some grease to the o-ring of the new part. 4) DO NOT overtighten!
