Global Parts 1815721 Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid - Exhaust

Engine VVT Solenoid for Volvo and Land Rover

Global Parts 1815721 is an engine variable valve timing (VVT) solenoid, also called a VVT oil control valve. It regulates oil flow within the VVT system and supports lubrication of the VVT chain and gear assembly for precise valve timing control.

• Blade terminal type with a rectangular, female connector
• 2 terminal, 1 connector design for a direct-fit style electrical connection
• Metal housing for engine-bay durability
• Fits exhaust-side VVT applications on select Volvo and Land Rover models
• Cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 918-071 and LR005582 for the same application

Detailed Product Information

This Global Parts VVT solenoid, part number 1815721, is built for engines that use electronically controlled oil routing to manage variable valve timing. By directing oil pressure to the VVT system, it helps the engine adjust cam timing as operating conditions change. That function is important for smooth operation on vehicles such as the Volvo XC60, Volvo XC70, Volvo S60, Volvo S80, Volvo XC90, Volvo V70, and Land Rover LR2 with exhaust-side fitment.

Compatible With 2010-2016 Volvo XC60, Exhaust; 2008-2015 Volvo XC70, Exhaust; 2011-2014 Volvo S60, Exhaust; 2007-2014 Volvo S80, Exhaust; 2007-2014 Volvo XC90, Exhaust; 2008-2012 Land Rover LR2, Exhaust; and 2008-2010 Volvo V70, Exhaust. Part number 1815721 is a practical OE-style replacement choice when the original VVT oil control valve is no longer regulating oil flow correctly.

What It Helps Address

• Rough idle related to inconsistent cam timing control
• Check engine light conditions tied to VVT solenoid performance
• Loss of power or sluggish throttle response from timing control issues
• Engine noise or irregular operation caused by poor oil control in the VVT system
• Exhaust-side timing faults on select Volvo and Land Rover engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style, terminal count, and exhaust-side application before installation. Confirm the part number 1815721 against the original unit and inspect the electrical connector and oil passages for contamination or damage during service. Proper diagnosis of oil pressure, wiring, and related timing components is recommended before replacing the solenoid.
