Gates VVT Solenoid for OE-Style Timing Control

The Gates VVS136 Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid is an OE-performance replacement built to restore proper oil control for variable valve timing systems. It is designed for direct fit, form, and function on select Hyundai, Genesis, and Kia applications, including intake right-side locations.

Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoids are engineered as OE-style oil control valves for precise cam timing response. The VVS136 uses electromagnetic activation, a female connector with two male terminals, and a sealed design to support consistent operation in demanding engine environments.

Key Features

  • OE-performance Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) solenoid
  • Electromagnetic activation for controlled oil flow response
  • 12-volt design with one female connector and two male terminals
  • Seal and gasket included for proper sealing at installation
  • Constructed with durable materials for long service life
  • Direct-fit replacement for intake right applications on select vehicles
  • Gates part number VVS136 for easy identification

Detailed Description

This Gates VVT solenoid is designed to help restore engine timing control by regulating oil flow to the variable valve timing system. It is commonly referred to as an oil control valve and is built to OE specifications in fit, form, and performance. The housing measures 5.157 inches long, 0.984 inch wide, and 0.984 inch high, with a 0.709-inch shaft diameter. The steel construction and sealed design support durability in engine bay conditions.

Compatible With select 2012-2019 Hyundai Santa Fe, Santa Fe XL, Azera, Genesis, Genesis Coupe, and 2017 Genesis G80; 2013-2017 Kia Sorento, Sedona, Cadenza, and K900. The Gates VVS136 is also a direct replacement for intake right-side VVT solenoid applications on these vehicles.

This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 918-008 and Standard Ignition VVT181 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Rough or unstable idle caused by VVT control issues
  • Reduced engine response from incorrect cam timing control
  • Check engine light conditions related to VVT solenoid performance
  • Fuel economy loss tied to poor valve timing regulation
  • Higher emissions from inconsistent intake timing operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style, terminal count, and intake right-side fitment before installation. Replace the seal or gasket as needed if the mounting surface shows wear or contamination. Clean the oil passage area and confirm the engine oil condition is within service specifications, since sludge or debris can affect solenoid operation.

Quality Assurance

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