Gates 06-10 Subaru Forester 4-Cyl. 2.5L Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid

The variable valve timing (VVT) solenoid is a small but crucial part of your engine's timing system. This Gates VVT solenoid, part number VVS164, is built to fit 2006-2010 Subaru Foresters with the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, ensuring your engine's camshaft timing is adjusted properly for optimal performance and efficiency.

When your engine control module calls for a change in valve timing, it sends a signal to the VVT solenoid. This solenoid then directs oil pressure to the VVT actuator on the camshaft, which physically rotates the camshaft to alter valve timing. This Gates solenoid is designed to respond accurately to those signals, helping to improve throttle response, fuel economy, and overall engine power delivery. It's a well-built replacement for a failed or sluggish solenoid, which can cause rough idling, poor acceleration, or a check engine light.

This solenoid is also a direct fit for 2006-2010 Subaru Imprezas, and 2007-2009 Subaru Legacys and Outbacks equipped with the same 2.5L engine. If your VVT system isn't working right, replacing the solenoid is often the first step to getting your engine running smoothly again.
