Detailed Description

The Cloyes VTS221 is engineered for Hyundai and Kia engines that use an intake-side VVT solenoid on the right side. It is intended to restore accurate oil metering to the cam timing system, which is critical when diagnosing timing response issues, fault codes, or drivability concerns tied to variable valve timing. This part cross-references 243553CAB2 for the same application.

Cloyes VTS221 is part of the Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid line, a repair-focused product line built around complete-service replacement. The design emphasizes correct connector fitment and tested performance so technicians can address the solenoid and surrounding sealing components in one service operation.

Common Repair Issues

• VVT-related check engine lights.
• Rough idle or inconsistent cam timing response.
• Oil leakage around the solenoid housing or seals.
• Delayed or erratic valve timing control.
• Electrical connector fitment problems during replacement.

Installation Notes

Verify the intake-side right-hand application before installation. Inspect the surrounding housing, seals, and connectors for wear or leakage during service, and confirm the OEM wiring connector matches the original part. Use the vehicle service information for torque and diagnostic procedures.
