Detailed Description

Vaico V48-0218 is an exhaust VVT oil control valve used to regulate hydraulic oil pressure to the variable valve timing system. On Land Rover Discovery Sport, Range Rover Evoque, and LR2 applications, proper solenoid operation helps the engine timing system respond correctly to ECU commands and maintain consistent exhaust cam timing. The V48-0218 part number is the reference to verify when matching the OE-style replacement for LR025652.

This part cross-references LR025652 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Check engine lights related to cam timing or VVT control
• Rough idle caused by inconsistent exhaust cam timing
• Reduced engine response from delayed oil control valve operation
• Timing-related fault codes tied to the exhaust VVT circuit
• Oil control valve performance issues on Land Rover Discovery Sport, Range Rover Evoque, and LR2

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify connector shape, pole count, and OE number before installation.
• Confirm exhaust-side placement for the listed Land Rover fitments.
• Inspect the oil passages and connector terminals during replacement.
• Clear diagnostic codes after installation and confirm proper VVT operation.

Quality Assurance

Vaico replacement parts are cataloged to OE reference data for direct application matching. Use the part number V48-0218 and OE number LR025652 to confirm fitment for your vehicle before ordering.
