Gates VVT Solenoid for Mitsubishi Outlander

The Gates VVS356 engine variable valve timing solenoid is built to OE specifications for fit, form, and performance. It is a direct replacement oil control valve for the 2007-2020 Mitsubishi Outlander, helping restore proper cam timing control for smoother operation and more consistent engine response.

Key Features

  • OE-style engine variable valve timing solenoid for Mitsubishi Outlander applications
  • Electromagnetic activation with 12-volt operation
  • Female connector with 2 male blade terminals
  • Seal included for a more complete replacement
  • Constructed from steel and aluminum for durability
  • Compact housing dimensions: 64 mm length, 30 mm width, 96.5 mm overall height

Product Details

Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid VVS356 is engineered as an OE performance replacement for the oil control valve used in variable valve timing systems. By regulating oil flow to the VVT mechanism, this solenoid helps the engine maintain the correct cam timing strategy under changing load and speed conditions. For drivers searching for a Mitsubishi Outlander VVT solenoid, oil control valve replacement, or Gates VVS356, this part is built to match the original application requirements and restore normal engine operation.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition VVT264 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Rough or unstable idle related to VVT control issues
  • Reduced engine power caused by incorrect cam timing response
  • Poor fuel economy from inconsistent valve timing operation
  • Higher emissions tied to malfunctioning oil control valve performance
  • Check engine light conditions associated with VVT solenoid faults

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm connector style, terminal count, and housing dimensions before installation. The Gates VVS356 uses a single female connector and 2 blade terminals, so matching the electrical connection is important for proper fitment. Inspect the sealing surface and engine oil condition during replacement, since contamination can affect VVT solenoid operation. This part is listed for 2007-2020 Mitsubishi Outlander models with engine variable valve timing solenoid applications.

Quality Assurance

Gates designs this Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid to OE specifications and tests it to help restore engine performance, fuel economy, idle quality, power delivery, and emissions control. The VVS356 is built from high-quality materials for durability and long service life.
