Gates VVS342 Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid 2 Blade Terminals 127mm with O-Rings

The Gates VVS342 is an Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid, also commonly known as a camshaft adjuster solenoid or camshaft position actuator solenoid. This electronically controlled oil valve is a direct-fit replacement engineered to restore precise camshaft timing control within your vehicle's VVT system.

The solenoid works in conjunction with the engine's ECU to manage pressurized oil flow to the camshaft actuator (phaser), advancing or retarding camshaft position based on real-time engine load and RPM. A failed or worn VVT solenoid can result in a check engine light, rough idle, poor acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and failed emissions tests.

Key Features:

• 2 Blade Terminals with 2 female connector design for a secure, factory-style electrical connection
• 127 mm overall length for precise dimensional fitment
• Includes 2 O-rings for a leak-free seal upon installation
• Also cross-references Gates part number VVS329
• Manufactured by Gates — a trusted global leader in automotive engine components with over 100 years of engineering experience
• Direct OE-replacement design for reliable, long-lasting performance

Gates VVT solenoids are built to OE specifications to ensure proper oil flow regulation and camshaft timing accuracy. This part is also referred to as a VVT oil control valve (OCV), cam phaser solenoid, or variable camshaft timing solenoid.
