15810-RAA-A03 VTEC Solenoid Spool Valve with Oil Pressure Switch and Gasket Compatible with 2.4L 2.0L Honda Accord, CR-V, Element, Civic Si, Acura RSX - Replace 15810-PPA-A01 15810-RAA-A01 917-224

I have bought this 3 times for different CRVs. Worked great on all 3 .Its a bit tricky to replace it's done by feel ,can't really see much

Worked great. Been on my crv for over a year now. No oil leak and no more hesitation.

fit 2003 crv just fine. awkward job to do, but resolved check engine prob.

Got the good old P2646 and limp mode at 190k miles on my 2004 Honda Element. I figured I'd give this absurdly cheap aftermarket VTEC solenoid a try first, rather than go straight for the OEM version at 4x the price. It fits exactly the same as OEM, and after a few hundred miles I haven't had any issues. If it fails at any point in the near future, I'll return to update this review.

In the attached photo, I have the original (factory) unit sitting next to this aftermarket unit.1st problem: I didn't realize the problem until I'd already completely installed the new unit and was trying to reconnect the wiring harnesses. On this unit, there are two plug connectors that attach: a larger one (top right) and a smaller one (bottom left). The metal shroud around the top of the unit is way too close to the plug connector for the bottom left connector and I couldn't get it connected. I had to uninstall this replacement unit to figure out what was going wrong. Luckily, that protective shroud around the top is fairly thin aluminum and can be bent and manipulated with pliers, so I had to modify the part to create enough room for that small wiring connector to be able to attach.2nd problem: in that protective shroud, there's a small hole for the clip that keeps the wiring harness secured after the connectors are attached. The diameter of the hole in this replacement unit is much larger than the diameter of the hole in the factory unit. The result of this inconsistency is that the plastic clip on the wiring harness that's supposed to fit into the hole and snap in place to hold it secure...doesn't stay connected. It just slides out because the hole is too large. If you want to secure your wire harness to this unit, you'll have to make due with using a ziptie because the factory clip isn't going to stay locked in place in that oversized hole.3rd problem: the gasket is either countersunk too much in this replacement unit, or it's too thin. It barely protruded above the mounting surface. I think this will ultimately lead to a future failure or oil leak.Given all these three problems, I would have returned this unit and insisted on a refund, but the problem is that my car was not usable without this part, I'd already gotten the old part off, and I needed my car back in service for an upcoming road-trip and simply cannot wait for an exchange.Update: so I did take my car for a 400 mile road trip after installing this part and it definitely solved my problem and there is no evidence of leaking, so as far as functionality goes this part seems to be just fine - as long as you don't mind bending it up with pliers a bit to allow clearance for the plug connector and as long as you don't mind using a ziptie to re-secure the wiring harness in place.

Installed 3 weeks back and as of today no issues. Time is the real test .

I only replaced my VVT solenoid because the gasket was starting to leak oil and since my 2007 accord had 235,000 miles on it I figured I would replace it. I had no CEL on prior to replacing the VVT. After installing the new VVT solenoid manufactured by NMN my CEL came on immediately. I'm a diagnostic technician with 45 years experience. I grabbed one of my scanners and pulled codes. I pulled code P2646 which is a manufacturer specific code for VVT failure. I checked my connections and they were good. I tested the VVT solenoid with my DVOM and found that the solenoid windings were shorted internally. luckily I was able to return it. it was a lot of work to have to do again.

Worked perfectly fine no problems or leaks. Seal worked perfectly fine just like an original one.
