This part is not compatible with the Equinox 2016.
Yes, that is correct; however, in my vehicle, it made no difference; it ran perfectly with the new replacements.
Make sure it's the right cam shaft for your vehicle; it took me about an hour to install mine, and it fixed my check engine light. To find out what's causing the check engine light to come on, go to an auto zone in your area and get a free diagnostic, or go to an e check or inspection station and they'll tell you what's wrong.

Variable camshaft timing solenoids are said to have a life expectancy of 50,000 miles. The check engine light came on in my Pontiac Solstice when it reached 50,247 miles. After doing some research on how to replace the solenoid, I decided to order these because they were cheap, took about 15 minutes to replace (the hardest part was removing the wiring connector), and after erasing the code with my OBD-II scanner, they worked perfectly. The check engine light was turned off and the engine purred after scanning with the 2 scanner.
After having my check engine light come on and being read at Autozone, this was exactly what I needed. I received my order quickly thanks to Prime, and I was able to replace this part myself with the help of YouTube. In comparison to buying from Autozone, I saved a lot of money. This purchase has left me completely satisfied.
Both are available at a very reasonable price. When my check engine light came on, I had it diagnosed, and they told me it was due to a problem with my intake actuator. As a result, I purchased both the intake and exhaust systems, as it is always best to replace both at the same time. It took me less than 15 minutes to put them both together. The engine light was turned off when I awoke the next day! When I increase my speed, my car performs much better. This product comes highly recommended!!.
It was a good deal, but one of them was missing an o-ring. ring. I was completely oblivious to the fact that one of them was missing. I put them in and sprayed oil all over the place. I've added some pictures. I'm going to buy everything on the internet. ring. However, this is merely to inform you. Make sure everything is in order.
The gray tip is the intake, while the black tip is the exhaust (I've seen a lot of questions about this). The bolt size is a 10mm socket, and it was very easy to install on my 2012 Chevy Malabo. The only issue is getting the old one out of there because it's very stiff. Putting the new one on, on the other hand, is as simple as it gets. I'd buy it again if I had the opportunity.
My problem was resolved in the past, with high-quality parts, prompt shipping, and overall great value.
My father set up the following day. My car now runs like a dream with no traction issues, engine light on, or jerking. Highly recommended and much less expensive than any auto store.
