Gates 06-12 Subaru Outback 4-Cyl. 2.5L Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid

If you're noticing rough idling, poor fuel economy, or a check engine light on your 2006-2012 Subaru Legacy with the 2.5L engine, a faulty Variable Valve Timing (VVT) solenoid could be the culprit. This solenoid is a key component in your engine's VVT system, which adjusts valve timing to improve performance and efficiency across different RPMs. When it's not working right, the engine management computer can't control valve timing properly, leading to those drivability issues.

Gates has built this VVT solenoid to be a direct replacement for your original part. It's designed to meet the specific electrical and flow requirements of your Subaru's engine. A properly functioning VVT system means your engine can breathe better, leading to a smoother running engine and better gas mileage. Replacing a faulty solenoid is a straightforward way to restore your engine's intended performance and efficiency.

This part is a common replacement when diagnosing VVT system codes. Make sure to check your vehicle's service manual for the correct diagnostic procedures and replacement steps.
