SKP SKVVS231 Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid

Engine VVT Solenoid for Mini Cooper

The SKP Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid helps regulate oil flow for valve timing control in Mini Cooper applications. It is built to OE specifications for consistent engine response, fuel efficiency, and emissions control. Part number SKVVS231 is a direct-fit replacement for select Mini Cooper, Cooper Countryman, and Cooper Paceman models.

Key Features

• Engine variable valve timing solenoid for oil-flow control
• OE-spec construction for fit and function
• Supports valve timing adjustment for smoother engine operation
• Helps maintain power delivery, fuel economy, and emissions performance
• Direct replacement for select Mini Cooper applications

Application Details

Compatible with 2007-2016 Mini Cooper, 2011-2016 Mini Cooper Countryman, and 2013-2016 Mini Cooper Paceman. The SKVVS231 VVT solenoid is used in engine timing systems that rely on controlled oil pressure to adjust cam timing. This part cross-references Gates (e.g., VVS231) for the same application.

Common Symptoms Addressed

• Rough idle related to variable valve timing control
• Check engine light tied to VVT system faults
• Delayed or inconsistent cam timing response
• Reduced engine performance from restricted oil control
• Fuel economy loss caused by timing control issues

Installation Notes

Verify the part number and vehicle application before installation. Inspect the engine oil condition and related passages, since contamination can affect solenoid operation. Confirm connector condition and sealing surfaces during replacement. Fits 2007-2016 Mini Cooper, 2011-2016 Mini Cooper Countryman, and 2013-2016 Mini Cooper Paceman.
