Product Details
Gates’ Engine Variable Valve Timing Sprocket line is built for OE-level replacement on modern Mercedes-Benz engines that use cam phasers and cam actuators to manage valve timing. The VCP836 follows OE specifications to help maintain accurate cam timing control, which is important for drivability, fuel economy, power delivery, and emissions performance. This part cross-references Mercedes-Benz OE numbers 278 050 20 47 and 278 050 34 00 for the same application.
Compatible With select Mercedes-Benz models including 2012-2019 GLS63 AMG, 2013-2018 CLS550, 2014-2018 CLS63 AMG S, 2013-2018 G63 AMG, 2016-2018 GLE63 AMG, 2017-2018 GLS550, 2013-2018 SL550, 2013-2017 S550, and 2013-2016 E63 AMG. The Gates VCP836 is also listed for additional Mercedes-Benz V8 applications such as GL550, GL63 AMG, ML63 AMG, SL63 AMG, and Maybach S550.
What It Helps Address
- Incorrect cam timing on the intake right side
- Rough idle or inconsistent engine operation related to VVT control
- Reduced fuel economy caused by timing system wear
- Loss of power or throttle response from a worn cam phaser
- Higher emissions from a timing component that no longer tracks correctly
Installation Notes
Verify engine code, model year, and intake right-side position before ordering. This VVT sprocket uses a timing-chain drive and does not include mounting hardware. Follow factory service procedures for cam timing alignment, chain indexing, and torque specifications during installation.
Quality Assurance
Gates manufactures this variable valve timing sprocket to OE specifications in fit, form, and performance, using high-quality materials for durability and service life. The part is tested to restore engine performance characteristics associated with proper VVT operation.
This part fits 100 vehicles
Always verify fitment with your vehicle's VIN if unsure. Submodel & trim restrictions may apply.
