This product line is tailored to meet the exacting standards of modern variable valve timing systems, providing consistent performance and durability. The VVS222 solenoid is part of this line, designed specifically for compatibility with Jaguar and Land Rover engines requiring precise VVT control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetailed Product Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VVS222 solenoid operates at 12 volts and features an electromagnetic activation style, which allows it to modulate the timing of the engine valves accurately. Its steel housing measures 118 mm in length, 34.3 mm in width, and 34.3 mm in height, making it a compact yet robust component. The solenoid includes a single female connector with two male blade terminals, facilitating secure electrical connections. The shaft diameter of 18 mm ensures proper fitment within the engine assembly. Note that this solenoid does not include mounting bolts, seals, or gaskets, so these components must be sourced separately during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Common Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJaguar XE and XF models requiring VVT solenoid replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLand Rover Discovery Sport and LR2 with variable valve timing systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRange Rover Evoque models compatible with Gates VVS222 solenoid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses issues such as rough idling, poor fuel economy, and engine hesitation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps resolve variable valve timing system fault codes and check engine light triggers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure the engine is cool before beginning installation to avoid injury\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerify electrical connector compatibility with the vehicle’s wiring harness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect and replace any worn seals or gaskets separately, as they are not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest the solenoid operation after installation to confirm proper valve timing control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGates manufactures the VVS222 solenoid to meet OEM standards for durability and performance.
