Review on Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoids 12655420 Replacement Parts by Ralph Foster

2011 Chevy Malibu 2.4L engine has set DTCs P0010 and P0011. Dade camshaft position magnets solved the problem. Although the failure was only on the intake cam, I replaced both as they are very similar and are known to have a high failure rate on this particular GM 2.4 liter engine. Also, Dade's two piece kit cost less than the price of a solenoid at my local parts store! The parts fit perfectly and were very easy to swap out. The lifetime warranty is also a plus, although I hope I never need it. Two pieces of advice I would give to anyone trying to replace them: clean the area around them first before removing the old parts. Use compressed air to blow off any dirt or grit as you don't want dirt getting into the hole when you remove the old solenoids. Secondly, make sure you put some engine oil on the o-ring of the new parts before installing them. This simplifies installation and reduces the chance of damage to the o-ring during installation.
