Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing VVT Solenoid

The Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid, also sold as a VVT control solenoid, oil control valve or camshaft phaser actuator, helps regulate engine oil flow to the camshaft phasers. By adjusting cam timing as operating conditions change, it supports smooth idle, responsive power delivery and efficient fuel use.

Key Features:

• Electronically controlled solenoid that directs oil pressure to advance or retard camshaft timing
• Built to meet the demands of modern variable valve timing systems
• Designed to restore proper cam phasing when the original solenoid sticks, clogs or fails
• Backed by Gates, a trusted name in engine management and belt drive components

A worn or failing VVT solenoid can cause symptoms such as a check engine light, rough idle, reduced power, poor fuel economy or timing-related fault codes. Replacing it helps return the engine to proper operation. Select the specific part number that matches your application from the variants listed on this page.
