The result is more consistent engine operation, with support for fuel economy, idle quality, power delivery, and emissions control.

Key Features

  • OE-spec fit, form, and performance for direct replacement use
  • Electromagnetic activation style with 12V operation
  • Female connector with 2 male terminals and 1 connector
  • Seal and gasket/seal included for proper sealing at installation
  • High-quality construction for durability and service life
  • Designed for intake VVT applications on select Volvo models
  • Part number VVS240 for easy identification

Detailed Description

Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid VVS240 is an OE performance oil control valve designed to match original specifications in the Volvo intake VVT system. It is built with durable materials and tested to help restore engine performance by controlling oil flow to the cam phaser as commanded by the engine management system. This part is a direct-fit solution for select Volvo S40, V50, C30, C70, S60, V60, XC60, and XC70 models, making it a practical choice when diagnosing VVT-related drivability concerns.

This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 918-093 for the same application.
