The new Solenoids have an improved design
If you do change it, don't forget to run the intercooler bleeding procedure after. Don't have it in front of me but if you search the web you will find it.

Thank you for advice.
I was watching some Youtube videos and saw some guy testing them by connecting to 9V battery and see if they are actuating. Maybe could be a good idea test them this way before purchasing new ones ?
I know that getting to them is some work but that's not a problem for me.
Another question - timing chain stretch - if that would be the case, tensioner should be fully extended right ? Maybe i even take out timing cover and look at tensioner, just to be sure (as i will already be there).
Maybe a noob question, just to be 100 % sure - Bank 2 is cylinder 5 - 8 right ? driver side ?
