Detailed Description
This Gates VVT solenoid, part number VVS114, is an engine variable valve timing solenoid commonly referred to as an oil control valve. It is engineered to match OE specifications and uses electromagnetic activation to regulate oil flow for variable valve timing operation. With a 12-volt electrical design, blade terminals, and a single female connector, it is built for straightforward replacement on the listed Hyundai and Kia vehicles. The housing measures 4.055 inches long and 0.961 inches wide/high, with a shaft diameter of 0.705 inches.
Compatible With 2002-2012 Hyundai Elantra, 2005-2009 Hyundai Tucson, 2003-2008 Hyundai Tiburon, 2004-2009 Kia Spectra, 2005-2009 Kia Spectra5, 2005-2009 Kia Sportage, and 2010-2011 Kia Soul. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 917-207 for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Rough or unstable idle caused by VVT control issues
- Reduced engine response from improper cam timing control
- Check engine light conditions related to the VVT solenoid circuit or oil control valve operation
- Poor fuel economy linked to inconsistent valve timing
- Increased emissions from incorrect timing control
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify connector style, terminal count, and OE part match before installation. Inspect the sealing surface and replace any damaged gasket area during service. Because this component controls oil flow for the VVT system, clean engine oil and proper oil condition are important for reliable operation after replacement.
Quality Assurance
Gates designs this Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid line to OE specifications and tests the component to help restore engine performance on the listed applications. The construction uses high-quality materials for durability and maximum service life.
