A failing variable timing solenoid can bring a check engine light, a rough idle or weaker acceleration. Low or dirty engine oil, a worn timing chain or tensioner, or a damaged connector can be behind those signs too, so find the cause before buying. If the solenoid is the cause, this one replaces it. This listing is one solenoid, and the number a car needs varies by engine; the 2005-2018 Volkswagen Jetta 5-cylinder 2.5L takes one.
