Hitachi Astemo Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid P/N:VTS0012
Keep your engine's cam timing responding to the ECM on command with the Hitachi Astemo Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid VTS0003. This new OE part drops in as a direct-fit replacement across a wide range of Nissan and Infiniti applications, including the 2007-2015 Nissan Altima [V6-3.5L], 2009-2019 Nissan 370Z [V6-3.7L], 2008-2013 Infiniti G37 [V6-3.7L], and the 2005-2015 Nissan Titan [V8-5.6L] — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 49 applications and engines.
A variable valve timing solenoid meters engine oil to the cam phaser so the valve timing can be advanced or retarded based on the ECM's commands. If a stuck or failed solenoid is the cause of a VVT-related trouble code, rough idle, or reduced response, this replaces it. Diagnose the underlying cause before replacing.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does this VVT solenoid do?
It meters engine oil to the camshaft phaser so the ECM can advance or retard valve timing. Replacing a failed solenoid restores that oil control if the solenoid is the cause of the problem.
How many do I need for my vehicle?
Quantity varies by application — many V6 and V8 engines use two (one per bank) while others use one. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for the quantity your specific engine requires.
Does this fit the right or left position?
It is offered for both the right and left positions depending on the application. Confirm the correct side for your engine in the Buyer's Guide tab before ordering.
Is this a new part?
Yes. It is a new, actual OE part from Hitachi Astemo (MPN VTS0003), with a country of origin of Japan.
What are common signs this solenoid may need replacing?
VVT-related trouble codes, rough idle, or reduced engine response can be signs. These symptoms have other possible causes, so diagnose the underlying issue before replacing the solenoid.
