Detailed Description

Gates VVS137 is an engine variable valve timing solenoid, also referred to as an oil control valve, for the exhaust (right) position on select Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis vehicles. It is engineered to match OE dimensions and electrical requirements, making it a direct-fit service part for restoring camshaft timing control. This part number, VVS137, is commonly searched for right-side exhaust VVT solenoid replacement on vehicles such as the Kia Sorento, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Genesis G80.

This Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid line focuses on OE performance replacement parts that use durable construction and validated operation to help recover engine response, smoother idle, improved fuel economy, and lower emissions when the original solenoid is worn or sticking.

This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 918-032 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Address

  • Rough or unstable idle caused by poor cam timing control
  • Reduced engine power or sluggish throttle response
  • Check engine light related to VVT or oil control valve faults
  • Excessive emissions from incorrect valve timing operation
  • Fuel economy loss linked to a failing exhaust-side solenoid

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Verify the exhaust (right) position before installation.
  • Inspect the connector, terminals, and sealing surfaces for oil intrusion or damage.
  • Confirm the electrical connector style matches the female 1-connector, 2-terminal layout.
  • Check engine oil condition and service history, since contaminated oil can affect VVT operation.
  • Follow the vehicle service procedure for removal and replacement on the specific Hyundai, Kia, or Genesis model.

Quality Assurance

Gates designs this VVT solenoid to OE specifications and tests it to help restore engine performance. High-quality materials are used to support durability and service life in demanding engine environments.
