This application covers Subaru Forester, Crosstrek, Legacy, Outback, Impreza, BRZ, WRX, and XV Crosstrek fitments listed below, including intake-position Forester applications and other listed engine VVT locations. The Cloyes VVT solenoid line focuses on replacement parts for vehicles with higher mileage, making VTS176 a practical option when drivability or timing-control faults point to solenoid wear. The VTS176 part number is also referenced by interchange number 10921AA231 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Is Used For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoring variable valve timing control after solenoid failure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddressing rough idle or timing-related drivability concerns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacing a worn or electrically faulty VVT solenoid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrecting engine warning lights tied to VVT control faults\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify the connector style, pin count, and listed fitment before installation.
