Product Details

The Gates VVS119 is an Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid, also referred to as an oil control valve, used to regulate oil flow for exhaust cam timing adjustment. Its OE-style construction supports accurate electrical actuation and consistent response, helping restore the engine’s timing control strategy on vehicles such as the Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Optima, Kia Sorento, and Kia Sportage. The compact housing measures 106 mm long and 24.4 mm wide/high, with a steel shaft and blade terminals for the specified factory-style connection.

This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 918-036 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Check engine lights related to variable valve timing performance
  • Rough or unstable idle caused by exhaust cam timing control issues
  • Reduced engine response from a sticking or failing VVT solenoid
  • Poor fuel economy linked to incorrect valve timing operation
  • Increased emissions from improper cam timing regulation

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s engine, model year, and exhaust-side application before installation. This Gates VVT solenoid uses a single female connector with blade terminals and is designed for 12-volt systems. The seal and gasket are included; mounting hardware is not included. For best results, inspect the connector, wiring, and oil passages during replacement and confirm the engine oil condition before installing the new solenoid.

Quality Assurance

Gates designs this Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid to OE specifications and tests it to help restore engine performance, fuel economy, idle quality, power delivery, and emissions control on compatible applications.
