Gates VVT Solenoid for Hyundai and Kia

The Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid VVS132 is an OE-style exhaust oil control valve built to match factory fit, form, and performance. It is designed for 12-volt electromagnetic operation and uses a female connector with blade terminals for direct replacement service on supported Hyundai and Kia applications.

For drivers searching for a Hyundai Sonata exhaust VVT solenoid replacement or a Kia Optima exhaust oil control valve, this part is built to restore proper variable valve timing control. Gates VVS132 is constructed from durable materials and tested to help return engine performance, idle quality, fuel economy, and emissions control to normal operating levels.

Key Features

  • OE performance Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid
  • 12-volt electromagnetic activation
  • Female connector with 2 blade terminals
  • Seal and gasket included for service replacement
  • Built to OE specifications for fit, form, and performance
  • Durable construction for extended service life
  • Gates VVS132 direct replacement part

Product Details

The Gates VVS132 is an exhaust-side VVT solenoid used on select 2009-2012 Hyundai and Kia vehicles, including Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Forte, Kia Forte Koup, Kia Optima, Kia Rondo, Kia Sorento, and Kia Sportage. This engine variable valve timing solenoid helps regulate oil flow to the cam phaser so the engine computer can control valve timing accurately under changing load and speed conditions. If you are replacing a faulty exhaust VVT solenoid on a 2011 Kia Optima or a 2010 Hyundai Tucson, this OE-style component is built for the application.

This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 917-230 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Check engine light related to variable valve timing faults
  • Rough or unstable idle caused by timing control issues
  • Reduced fuel economy from improper cam timing
  • Loss of power or sluggish throttle response
  • Emissions concerns tied to VVT system malfunction

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the exhaust-side application and build-date notes before ordering, since several listed vehicles use date-specific fitment. Inspect the connector, seal surface, and oil passages during replacement, and verify the harness connection is clean and secure. After installation, clear diagnostic trouble codes and confirm proper VVT operation during a road test.

Quality Assurance

Gates designs this Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid to OE specifications and tests it to help restore engine performance, idle quality, fuel economy, and emissions control. The part is built from high-quality materials for durability and service life.
