  • 12-volt electromagnetic activation for valve timing control
  • Female connector with 2 male terminals and pin-style connection
  • Seal and gasket/seal included for proper sealing at the engine
  • High-quality materials selected for durability and service life
  • Overall length: 4.291 in. (109 mm); overall width and height: 1.122 in. (28.5 mm)
  • Shaft diameter: 0.787 in. (20 mm)

Product Details

The Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid line is engineered to match OE specifications so the replacement part installs and functions like the original component. VVS147 helps regulate oil flow to the variable valve timing system, which is critical for maintaining accurate cam timing across changing engine conditions. This can support smoother idle, improved fuel economy, stronger power delivery, and lower emissions when the original solenoid is worn, sticking, or electrically failing. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 918-069 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Check engine lights related to VVT or oil control valve faults
  • Rough idle caused by inconsistent cam timing control
  • Reduced fuel economy from improper valve timing operation
  • Loss of power or sluggish acceleration under load
  • Emissions issues tied to poor VVT response

Installation Notes

Verify connector style, terminal count, and dimensions before installation. Clean the mounting surface and inspect the sealing area to help prevent oil leaks. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the correct fasteners as needed. After installation, clear diagnostic trouble codes and confirm proper VVT operation.

Quality Assurance

Gates builds this VVT solenoid to OE specifications and tests it to restore engine performance in the intended applications.
