Detailed Description
The Gates VVS222 is an intake VVT solenoid engineered to regulate oil flow to the variable valve timing system. By controlling cam timing more precisely, it helps the engine respond correctly under changing load and speed conditions. Gates designs this OE performance line to match original specifications, making it a practical replacement when diagnosing timing-related drivability concerns on the Jaguar XE, Jaguar XF, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Land Rover LR2, and Land Rover Range Rover Evoque.
This part cross-references INA US VV1152 and Standard Ignition VVT252 for the same application. The VVS222 part number is also commonly searched by drivers and technicians looking for an OE-style intake VVT solenoid replacement.
What It Helps Address
- Rough or unstable idle caused by VVT control issues
- Reduced engine response from incorrect intake cam timing
- Check engine lights related to solenoid or oil control valve faults
- Lower fuel economy from poor valve timing control
- Increased emissions from timing system malfunction
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the intake position and connector style before installation. Inspect the electrical connector, wiring, and engine oil condition, since contamination or low-quality oil can affect VVT solenoid operation. Confirm the replacement matches the original part number VVS222 and the vehicle application before service.
Quality Assurance
Gates manufactures this engine variable valve timing solenoid to OE specifications and tests it to help restore engine performance. The design uses high-quality materials for durability and maximum service life.
