Which socket did you use to undo it? 10mm? 12MM? That tells you bolt size. Then you have 3 different pitches in that size.

The V V T solenoid uses three bolts. Take one with you to match another.

What size bolt uses a 10 mm socket?
If you mean what size bolt has a 10 mm head, it is a 6 mm bolt.

And you want automotive grade bolt.

If manufacturer's documentation for dealers only deals with numbers for parts, then its about time there is a federal law that requires car manufacturers to provide documentation in new autos with their number for every part in the auto. Then, after market suppliers can provide correct part by cross reference.
