need help with code P0013 ( camshaft position actuator B bank 1 malfunction) was told at the dealer needed ac delco 12679099 and 12679100 to replaced them $500.00 +
searching that part number is ( variable valve timing solenoid) for intake and exhaust does not say anything about actuator is this the right part #i need or they replace that and say something else was wrong and make the price go up, i wonder?
if it is i can purchase them for less than $ 100.00 and replace them myself,
thank you if anyone can help.

Did you google those part numbers and see the price? About $40 each.
Maybe 1 hour labor, did you misunderstand the dealer?

No I didn’t I asked why was that expensive the man told me after they replace the parts they need to reprogram the computer to except the new parts that’s when I left the place.
Now I don’t know if the part number is the right one

If those are the parts, they require no programming when replaced.

I ordered these parts from Autozone and installed them myself in the driveway. A pretty easy process that (if I remember correctly) required removing 3 bolts. Be very careful with plastic electrical connectors. They are hard but brittle

Did this solve your problem? My Verano is still having the same issue after replacing solenoids and camshaft position sensors.

Have you checked your oil level?
Remove the part you just installed and look for debris that might be cloging the metal mesh.
