About the Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid Line

The Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid line by Gates focuses on delivering reliable and precise solenoids that regulate the variable valve timing system in modern engines. This product line is engineered to meet OEM specifications, ensuring proper electromagnetic activation and fitment for a range of vehicles including Ford, Jaguar, Land Rover, and Lincoln models. The VVS167 solenoid is part of this line, designed to maintain engine efficiency and performance by accurately controlling valve timing adjustments.

Detailed Product Description

The Gates VVS167 solenoid operates at 12 volts and uses electromagnetic activation to adjust the timing of the engine valves. Its steel housing measures 28.1 mm in width and height, with an overall length of 121 mm, providing a compact and durable design. The solenoid features a blade terminal type with two male terminals and one female connector, facilitating straightforward electrical connections. The shaft diameter of 18 mm ensures compatibility with the valve timing mechanism. This solenoid does not include mounting hardware, seals, or gaskets, so these components should be sourced separately if needed.

Compatible Vehicles and Common Applications

  • Ford Thunderbird and Lincoln Vanden Plas models
  • Jaguar models including S-Type, X-Type, XF, XJ8, XJR, XK, XK8, and XKR
  • Land Rover Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and LR3
  • Lincoln LS and Super V8

This solenoid is designed to address issues related to variable valve timing control, such as:

  • Engine performance irregularities due to faulty valve timing
  • Check engine light triggered by VVT solenoid malfunction
  • Reduced fuel efficiency caused by improper valve timing
  • Rough idling or stalling related to VVT system failure
  • Increased emissions from inconsistent valve operation

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Gates VVS167 solenoid, ensure the vehicle's ignition is off and the engine is cool. Verify the solenoid's fitment with your specific make and model before installation. Since mounting hardware and seals are not included, retain or replace these components as necessary to ensure a secure and leak-free installation. Proper electrical connections should be made using the blade terminals, and the female connector should be securely attached to the vehicle wiring harness.
