Detailed Description

Global Parts 1811552 is built for vehicles that use a variable valve timing oil control valve to regulate engine timing oil pressure. In the Audi Q7 and Volkswagen Touareg, this component helps the VVT system respond to engine demands by directing oil through the solenoid-controlled passages. If the original solenoid is sticking, leaking, or no longer controlling oil flow correctly, replacement can restore proper VVT operation.

Compatible With 2009-2014 Audi Q7 and 2010-2014 Volkswagen Touareg, this part number 1811552 is a practical OE-style replacement for common VVT service needs.

Common Issues This Part May Address

  • Check engine light related to VVT system performance
  • Rough idle or inconsistent engine timing behavior
  • Oil control valve sticking from sludge or wear
  • Delayed cam timing response
  • Reduced lubrication flow to VVT chain and gear assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm engine compatibility before ordering, since VVT solenoid applications can vary by engine configuration. Inspect the connector, sealing surfaces, and oil passages during service, and verify clean engine oil condition before installing the replacement. For fitment confirmation, match the vehicle against the listed Audi Q7 and Volkswagen Touareg year ranges.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts 1811552 is manufactured as a replacement engine VVT solenoid for the listed applications. It also cross-references Spectra Premium VTS1095 and Standard Ignition VVT138 for the same use case.
