Product Details

Holstein Parts 2VTS0012 is engineered for exhaust VVT control on applications such as the Chevrolet Malibu, Chevrolet Equinox, and Buick Regal. By regulating oil flow to the variable valve timing system, the solenoid helps the engine adjust cam timing based on operating conditions. This supports smoother operation and proper timing response in vehicles equipped with exhaust-side VVT.

Holstein Parts is the product line name used for replacement components across multiple engine and chassis categories, and 2VTS0012 follows that OE-style service approach for common GM platforms. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 917-216 and Gates VVS104 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Check engine light related to VVT system faults
• Rough idle caused by exhaust cam timing control issues
• Reduced engine response from a sticking or failing solenoid
• Timing performance problems tied to oil control in the VVT circuit
• Driveability concerns on GM exhaust VVT-equipped engines

Installation Notes

Verify connector style, terminal count, and exhaust-side placement before installation. Confirm the vehicle application by year, make, model, and engine configuration, especially on Chevrolet Malibu, Chevrolet Equinox, and Buick Regal listings. Inspect the electrical connector and surrounding oil passages during service, and clear diagnostic trouble codes after replacement if required by the repair procedure.

Quality Assurance
