Gates VVS133 Intake VVT Solenoid

The Gates VVS133 engine variable valve timing solenoid is an OE-style replacement for intake-side VVT control on select Hyundai and Kia applications. Built to OE specifications for fit, form, and performance, it is designed to restore proper oil control valve operation in engines that rely on precise cam timing.

Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid components are engineered for direct replacement service, with high-quality materials selected for durability and consistent operation. The VVS133 uses electromagnetic activation and a 12V electrical design to help maintain accurate valve timing response in Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Genesis Coupe, Kia Optima, and related models.

Key Features

  • OE-spec fit, form, and performance for direct replacement service
  • Electromagnetic activation for controlled VVT operation
  • 12V electrical design with 1 female connector and 2 male blade terminals
  • Seal and gasket included for proper sealing at the engine
  • Constructed with durable materials for service life and consistent operation
  • Intake position application for select Hyundai and Kia engines

Product Details

The Gates VVS133 is an engine variable valve timing solenoid, also referred to as an oil control valve, used to regulate oil flow to the cam phaser system. Accurate solenoid operation is important for maintaining cam timing response, idle quality, fuel economy, power delivery, and emissions control. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 917-284 for the same application. It is a direct-fit replacement for select Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Genesis Coupe, Kia Optima, and other listed vehicles, including applications that require intake-side VVT control.

Common Repair Symptoms

  • Rough or unstable idle caused by VVT control issues
  • Reduced engine response from incorrect cam timing control
  • Check engine light related to variable valve timing faults
  • Poor fuel economy linked to oil control valve malfunction
  • Emissions concerns from inconsistent valve timing operation

Installation Notes

Confirm the connector style, terminal count, and intake position before installation. The VVS133 uses a female connector, male blade terminals, and includes a seal/gasket for proper sealing. Verify the vehicle build date where noted in the fitment list, since several Hyundai and Kia applications are limited to earlier production dates.
