Detailed Description

This Gates VVT solenoid is a direct-fit replacement for select Hyundai Genesis Coupe, Veracruz, Azera, Genesis, Sonata, Entourage, Santa Fe and Kia Borrego, Sedona, Amanti, Sorento applications with intake (left) or left-side placement. If your vehicle has a cam timing fault, rough idle, reduced power, or an emissions-related warning tied to variable valve timing control, the VVS175 is built to restore proper oil flow control to the VVT system.

This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 918-039 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Check engine lights related to VVT or oil control valve performance
  • Rough or unstable idle caused by cam timing control issues
  • Loss of power or sluggish throttle response
  • Reduced fuel economy from improper valve timing operation
  • Emissions concerns linked to incorrect cam phasing

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Verify the connector style, terminal count, and mounting location before installation.
  • Confirm the intake (left) or left-side position matches your original part.
  • Inspect the seal and mating surface for oil leaks or debris before fitting the new solenoid.
  • Clear diagnostic trouble codes after installation and confirm proper engine operation.
  • Use the vehicle’s service information to verify the exact application for your Hyundai or Kia model.

Quality Assurance

Gates designs this Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid to OE specifications and tests it for performance restoration. The VVS175 is constructed from high-quality materials for durability and service life, making it a practical replacement for select Hyundai and Kia VVT systems.
