About this part

Product Details

This variable valve timing (VVT) solenoid from Gates is built with a durable, high-temperature resistant plastic housing, ensuring it can handle the heat under the hood. It's designed to precisely control the flow of oil to the VVT actuator, which adjusts camshaft timing for improved engine performance and fuel efficiency. If your engine is running rough, has a check engine light on, or is experiencing poor fuel economy, a faulty VVT solenoid could be the culprit.

Gates is a well-known name in engine components, and this VVT solenoid is made to meet the original equipment specifications for a direct fit. It replaces the factory solenoid on a range of vehicles, including the Chevrolet Cruze, Chevrolet Sonic, and Chevrolet Aveo. Proper VVT operation is key to your engine running smoothly and efficiently, especially at different RPMs.

Replacing a VVT solenoid is a common repair for many vehicles. This part is designed to install directly into the factory location, making the job straightforward for a mechanic. Ensuring your VVT system is functioning correctly will help your engine perform at its best.
