Review: Installed on my 2007 Lexus ES350. I accidentally broke ... - Installed on my 2007 Lexus ES350. I accidentally broke mine when I was doing a valve cover gasket replacement. I looked online on desertcart for a less cost alternative from the Lexus parts dealer ($120). I was alittle hesitant so I purchased the insurance that was offered with this product. I installed, reset the error code, and now no error code. Hopefully it will last. If I have any issues before my insurance on this part runs out, I'll post an update.
Review: Fits Front Intake (BANK 2) - I have a 2015 Toyota Sienna and the front and back should be the same part. This is not the case for this part. It will only fit the front intake on bank 2. My issue was on bank 1 which the part didn’t fit. The bracket wasn’t flush against the body of the solenoid so it would hit the frame. It wasn’t able to seat. I wasn’t going to bend it or grind it down to make it work either. It fit fine on the front. Next time around I’ll read the reviews and not be in a rush.

*by C***E on February 14, 2017*

Installed on my 2007 Lexus ES350. I accidentally broke mine when I was doing a valve cover gasket replacement. I looked online on Amazon for a less cost alternative from the Lexus parts dealer ($120). I was alittle hesitant so I purchased the insurance that was offered with this product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fits Front Intake (BANK 2)
*by T***S on February 23, 2026*

I have a 2015 Toyota Sienna and the front and back should be the same part. This is not the case for this part. It will only fit the front intake on bank 2. My issue was on bank 1 which the part didn’t fit. The bracket wasn’t flush against the body of the solenoid so it would hit the frame. It wasn’t able to seat.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fixed Check engine light (Camshaft position B - over-retarded) on 2012 Rav4
*by D***S on August 4, 2021*

I have a 2012 Rav4 (v6, 4wd, base). Check engine light code was "camshaft position B, Bank 2 - retarded beyond specified limits. If you aren't familiar, with a V6 (or any other V-shaped engine), there are two 'banks' for each side of the 'V'. So to replace all VVT solenoids in V6 2012 Rav4, I needed 4 of them - but there are 3 different model numbers (with 2 of just one of those model numbers), so be careful. Swapped this and the other VVT solenoid for bank 2 - fixed check engine light problem. Takes 30 minutes and is way cheaper than the shop or dealer wanted. $60 each x2 and 30 minutes vs > $600? Easy choice. As of writing this review, I've driven 3000 miles and had it in my car for almost 3 months.
