Detailed Description
The Gates VVS248 is a replacement VVT solenoid engineered for precise oil flow control to the variable valve timing system. By regulating oil pressure to the cam phaser, it helps the engine maintain accurate timing under changing load and speed conditions. This can restore smoother idle, stronger throttle response, improved fuel economy, and lower emissions when the original solenoid is worn or sticking.
This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 918-195 for the same application. Gates VVS248 is listed for 2007-2013 Nissan Altima, 2009-2014 Nissan Maxima, 2009-2014 Nissan Murano, 2013-2014 Nissan Pathfinder, 2011-2014 Nissan Quest, 2013 Infiniti JX35, 2014 Infiniti QX60, and 2014 Infiniti QX70, all in the right position.
Common Problems It Can Help Solve
- Rough or unstable idle caused by VVT control issues
- Reduced engine power or sluggish acceleration
- Check engine light related to cam timing or oil control valve faults
- Poor fuel economy from incorrect valve timing control
- Excess emissions caused by inconsistent VVT operation
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the connector style, terminal count, and right-side location before installation. Inspect the sealing surface and replace any damaged gasket material during service. Clean engine oil passages and related connectors to reduce the chance of repeat failure, and confirm the vehicle’s oil condition since contaminated oil can affect VVT solenoid operation.
Quality Assurance
Gates OE performance engine variable valve timing solenoids are manufactured to OE specifications and tested to help restore engine performance. The VVS248 is built from high-quality materials for durability and maximum service life.
