Detailed Description

Cloyes VTS234 is a VVT solenoid replacement for Hyundai and Kia applications that require intake-side control of valve timing. It is intended for service on vehicles such as the Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, and Hyundai Genesis, where accurate oil control and connector fit are important to restoring proper engine operation. The part number VTS234 is also referenced as 243553CAA2 for cross-reference purposes.

This part cross-references 243553CAA2 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Rough idle related to variable valve timing control issues.
  • Check engine lights tied to VVT solenoid performance.
  • Oil leakage around the solenoid housing or surrounding components.
  • Timing response problems caused by restricted oil flow or duty-cycle faults.
  • Connector mismatch concerns when replacing a worn solenoid.

Installation Notes and Quality Assurance

Verify the intake-side position and connector style against the original part before installation. Inspect nearby gaskets, O-rings, and related components during service, especially on higher-mileage engines. Cloyes states that this solenoid is 100% tested during production for fitment, leakage, maximum oil flow, and holding duty cycle. The VTS234 is backed by an industry-leading warranty and technical support.
