Motorad 1VS249 Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid

Motorad VVT Solenoid for Mercedes-Benz Applications

The Motorad 1VS249 is an engine variable valve timing solenoid built for Mercedes-Benz engines that need precise oil control for cam timing operation. It is a direct-fit style replacement for select Mercedes-Benz G550, GL550, ML550, and C280 applications, with a black housing, black connector, oval connector shape, and blade terminal design.

Key Features

• Engine variable valve timing (VVT) solenoid for timing control
• Black body and black connector for OE-style appearance
• Oval female connector with one male blade terminal
• Three mounting holes for secure installation
• Manufactured and tested in IATF 16949 certified facilities
• Backed by a limited lifetime warranty

Detailed Description

Motorad 1VS249 is engineered to restore proper VVT operation by regulating oil flow to the cam phaser system. When the solenoid responds correctly, the engine management system can maintain accurate valve timing, which supports fuel economy and helps reduce emissions. This part cross-references Gates VVS226 for the same application. It is a strong match for Mercedes-Benz G550, Mercedes-Benz GL550, Mercedes-Benz ML550, and Mercedes-Benz C280 fitments across the listed model years.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Check engine light related to variable valve timing performance
• Rough idle caused by inconsistent cam timing control
• Reduced fuel economy from improper valve timing operation
• Emissions concerns tied to VVT system faults
• Delayed or erratic engine response from a failing solenoid

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal style, and mounting hole layout before installation. This part uses a female oval connector with a single male blade terminal and does not include mounting hardware. Confirm the vehicle application by year and model before replacing the original solenoid. For fitment, this part fits 2009-2015 Mercedes-Benz G550, 2008-2012 Mercedes-Benz GL550, 2008-2011 Mercedes-Benz ML550, and 2008 Mercedes-Benz C280.
