Gates 07-09 Hyundai Santa Fe V-6 3.3L Left Side Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid

This variable valve timing (VVT) solenoid from Gates is built with a durable brass housing, offering a solid foundation for controlling oil flow to your engine's VVT actuator. It's designed to manage the precise oil pressure needed to adjust camshaft timing, which is crucial for optimizing engine performance and fuel economy across a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sedona, and Hyundai Sonata.

When your engine's computer calls for a change in valve timing, this solenoid acts as the gatekeeper, directing oil to the VVT actuator to advance or retard the camshaft position. This allows the engine to adapt to different driving conditions, improving power delivery when you need it and enhancing efficiency during cruising. Gates has a reputation for well-built engine components, and this VVT solenoid is no exception, aiming to restore proper VVT function if yours has been acting up.

If you're experiencing rough idling, poor acceleration, or reduced fuel mileage, a faulty VVT solenoid could be the culprit. Replacing it with a Gates VVS175 is a direct way to address these symptoms and get your engine running like it should again. This part fits a broad spectrum of Hyundai and Kia vehicles from the mid-2000s to early 2010s.
