Detailed Description

The Gates VVS375 is built for engines that rely on precise oil control to adjust cam timing. By regulating oil flow through the variable valve timing system, this solenoid helps maintain the timing response the engine expects under changing load and speed conditions. It is a practical OE-style replacement for Mercedes-Benz C250 and Mercedes-Benz SLK250 models listed in the fitment data, and it is identified by part number VVS375.

This part cross-references Mercedes-Benz OE numbers 2710500478 and 2710500578 for the same application. If you are searching for a Mercedes-Benz C250 VVT solenoid or a Mercedes-Benz SLK250 oil control valve, VVS375 is the catalog reference to use.

What It Helps Address

  • Erratic cam timing control
  • Rough or unstable idle related to VVT operation
  • Reduced engine response from improper oil control
  • Fuel economy loss caused by timing system faults
  • Higher emissions from variable valve timing malfunction

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the engine code and connector style against the original part before installation. Inspect the mounting bore, oil passages, and related seals for contamination or wear, and confirm the engine oil is clean and at the correct level before replacing the solenoid. Because this unit is listed with no mounting hardware and no seal included, reuse or source any required service components separately as needed.

Fits 2012-2015 Mercedes-Benz C250, N/A. Fits 2012-2015 Mercedes-Benz SLK250, N/A.

Quality Assurance

Gates designs this Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid line to OE specifications and uses high-quality materials for durability and service life. Each unit is tested to help restore engine performance, fuel economy, idle quality, power delivery, and emissions control in the applications listed.
