Gates VVT Solenoid VVS237 Overview
The Gates VVS237 Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid is an OE-performance oil control valve built to match original fit, form, and function. It is engineered for 12-volt electromagnetic operation and uses a female connector with blade terminals for direct replacement service on supported Jaguar and Land Rover applications.
Designed for the exhaust side on select Jaguar XE, XF, and Land Rover Discovery Sport, Range Rover Evoque, and LR2 models, this Gates variable valve timing solenoid helps restore proper cam timing control when the original unit is worn or sticking. The VVS237 is built from durable materials for long service life and consistent engine response.
- OE-spec fit, form, and performance
- 12-volt electromagnetic activation
- Female connector with 2 blade terminals
- Constructed with steel shaft and durable housing
- Exhaust-side VVT solenoid for select Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles
- Direct replacement part number: VVS237
Vehicle Fitment
- Fits 2017 Jaguar XE, exhaust.
- Fits 2013-2015 Jaguar XF, exhaust.
- Fits 2015-2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport, exhaust.
- Fits 2012-2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, exhaust.

How This Solenoid Is Used
- Restores variable valve timing control when the exhaust solenoid is failing
- Helps correct rough idle caused by inconsistent cam timing
- Addresses reduced power from delayed or inaccurate valve timing
- Supports improved fuel economy when the original oil control valve is not operating properly
- Helps reduce emissions related to poor VVT operation
Installation Notes
Verify engine position and connector style before installation. The VVS237 is a solenoid-only replacement and does not include mounting hardware, a gasket, or a seal. Clean the mounting area and inspect the oil passages and electrical connector for contamination or damage before installing the new unit.
For fitment-based searches, this part is commonly selected for a Jaguar XE exhaust VVT solenoid replacement, a Land Rover Discovery Sport exhaust oil control valve, and a Range Rover Evoque exhaust variable valve timing solenoid service. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 916-850 for the same application.
Quality Assurance
Gates designs this OE performance VVT solenoid to original specifications and tests it to help restore engine performance, fuel economy, idle quality, power delivery, and emissions control on the listed applications.
