Product Details

Gates’ Engine Variable Valve Timing Sprocket line is built for OE-level replacement where precise cam timing matters. VCP849 is designed to restore proper variable valve timing operation on the exhaust side, helping maintain engine response, fuel economy, and emissions performance when the original cam phaser or actuator has worn or failed. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 918-701 for the same application.

Compatible With select 2011-2020 Kia Optima, 2012-2020 Kia Sorento, 2011-2019 Kia Sportage, 2011-2019 Hyundai Sonata, 2013-2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, 2014-2015 Hyundai Tucson, 2019-2020 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2019-2020 Hyundai Tucson, 2019 Genesis G70, 2019 Hyundai Veloster N, 2018 Kia Stinger, and 2025 Hyundai Elantra N exhaust applications.

What It Helps Address

  • Rough idle or inconsistent engine operation tied to cam timing issues
  • Check engine light conditions related to variable valve timing faults
  • Loss of low-end torque or reduced throttle response
  • Decreased fuel economy caused by improper exhaust cam phasing
  • Emissions concerns from worn or sticking VVT components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code, exhaust-side application, and OE part match before installation. Inspect the timing chain system, guides, and related components during service, since wear in adjacent parts can affect VVT performance. Follow factory timing procedures and torque specifications during replacement.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures this VVT sprocket to OE specifications in fit, form, and performance using high-quality materials for durability and service life. The part is tested to help restore engine performance and support proper fuel economy, power delivery, and emissions control.
