Gates VVT Solenoid for Exhaust Timing Control

The Gates VVS104 engine variable valve timing solenoid is built to OE specifications for fit, form, and performance. It is designed for exhaust-side VVT control on select Buick, Chevrolet, GMC, Pontiac, and Saturn applications, helping restore proper cam timing response and engine operation.

Gates OE performance engine variable valve timing solenoids, also known as oil control valves, use quality materials and electromagnetic activation for dependable operation in the valve timing system. The VVS104 is a direct-fit replacement for vehicles such as the Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain, and Buick Regal with exhaust VVT control.

Key Features

OE-style engine variable valve timing solenoid for exhaust cam timing control
Electromagnetic activation with 12-volt operation
Female connector with 2 male terminals
Includes gasket/seal and mounting bolt
Constructed for durability and long service life
Direct replacement for select 2006-2017 GM vehicles

Detailed Product Overview

The Gates VVS104 is an exhaust engine variable valve timing solenoid engineered to match OE specifications in fit, form, and performance. It measures 4.724 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 1 inch high, with a 0.906-inch shaft diameter and a single connector layout for straightforward replacement. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 917-216 for the same application. Common search terms for this part include exhaust VVT solenoid for Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain oil control valve replacement, and Buick Regal variable valve timing solenoid.

By restoring proper oil control to the cam phaser system, the VVS104 helps return the engine to normal timing operation on vehicles such as the Chevrolet Malibu, Chevrolet HHR, Pontiac G6, and Saturn Vue. The Gates VVS104 is also listed for the Chevrolet Captiva Sport, Buick LaCrosse, and Saturn Aura, making it a practical OE-style service part for a wide range of GM platforms.

What It Helps Address

Rough or unstable idle caused by VVT control issues
Reduced engine response from incorrect exhaust cam timing
Check engine light concerns related to VVT solenoid performance
Fuel economy loss tied to timing control faults
Higher emissions from improper valve timing operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the exhaust-side application before ordering, since this solenoid is not universal. Confirm connector style, mounting location, and engine configuration against the original part on the vehicle. Clean the mounting surface and inspect the oil passages and related wiring before installation. This part includes the solenoid, gasket/seal, and mounting bolt as listed in the product data.

Compatible with select 2006-2017 Buick, Chevrolet, GMC, Pontiac, and Saturn models, including the Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain, and Buick Regal. Use the part number VVS104 when matching the replacement to the original unit.

Quality Assurance

Gates designs this OE performance VVT solenoid to OE specifications and tests it to help restore engine performance, fuel economy, idle quality, and emissions control. The VVS104 is built from high-quality materials for durability and maximum service life.

This part fits 144 vehicles

Always verify fitment with your vehicle's VIN if unsure. Submodel & trim restrictions may apply.
