- Metal and plastic housing: with an 18 mm (0.7 in) shaft.
- Specifically engineered for Subaru engines as part of an expanding VVT lineup.
- 100% end-of-line tested to meet or exceed OE performance.
Gaskets and mounting hardware are not included; consult the vehicle service information for the correct seals and fasteners. If a failed VVT solenoid is the cause of rough idle, VVT-related trouble codes, or sluggish response, this replaces it — diagnose the underlying cause before replacing. Country of origin: Japan.
