Detailed Description

Holstein 2VTS0238 is built for vehicles that use electronically controlled variable valve timing to adjust engine performance and efficiency. This VVT solenoid regulates oil flow to the timing system, helping maintain proper camshaft response under changing load and speed conditions. It is a practical service part for Ford F-150, Ford Edge, and Lincoln Aviator applications where the original solenoid has failed or is no longer operating correctly.

This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 916-517 and Gates VVS246 for the same application.

Common Issues It May Solve

• Check engine light related to variable valve timing performance.
• Rough idle caused by inconsistent cam timing control.
• Loss of power or sluggish throttle response from VVT malfunction.
• Oil control faults affecting engine timing operation.
• Hard starting or unstable engine behavior tied to solenoid failure.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and fitment notes before ordering, especially for the 2020 Ford Edge exception listed in the catalog data. Confirm the connector and mounting style against the original part number 2VTS0238 before installation. Professional diagnosis is recommended to rule out wiring, oil pressure, or timing-related issues that can mimic solenoid failure.

Quality Assurance

Holstein Parts 2VTS0238 is cataloged as a replacement engine VVT solenoid with application-specific fitment data for Ford and Lincoln vehicles. Use the confirmed vehicle list and notes to match the correct service part for your application.
