Gates Variable Valve Timing Solenoid

The Gates Variable Valve Timing Solenoid, also called a VVT solenoid, oil control valve or cam phaser solenoid, is an engine management component. It regulates oil flow to the camshaft phasing system. By adjusting cam timing as engine conditions change, it helps the engine deliver smooth power, good fuel economy and controlled emissions.

Key Features:

• Controls oil pressure to the cam phaser so valve timing can be advanced or retarded on command from the engine control module
• Helps maintain smooth idle, steady power delivery and efficient fuel use
• Built to meet or exceed original equipment performance expectations
• Made with materials and sealing designed to withstand engine heat, oil exposure and vibration
• Tested for consistent, reliable operation

Why Replace a VVT Solenoid:

• Common symptoms of a failing solenoid include a check engine light, rough idle, reduced power, poor fuel economy and timing-related fault codes
• A clogged screen or a worn solenoid can cause slow or erratic cam phaser response
• Replacing it restores proper valve timing control and engine performance

Gates is a well-known name in engine components, including belts, hoses and timing parts. Its variable valve timing solenoids give technicians and DIY installers a dependable replacement. Fresh engine oil and a clean oil system help the new solenoid last.
