Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid P/N:VVS233
Gates VVS159 VVT solenoid for the 2010-2011 Hyundai Accent 4-cylinder 1.6L and other vehicles regulates oil flow to the valve timing system. Commonly called an oil control valve, this variable valve timing solenoid is designed to OE specifications in fit, form and performance.
A failing VVT solenoid can show up as a rough idle, a check engine light or lower fuel economy. Before you replace it, rule out other causes such as low or dirty engine oil and wiring or connector faults, because those can look the same from the driver's seat.
This VVT solenoid is a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2011 Hyundai Accent 4-cylinder 1.6L, the 2010-2011 Kia Rio 4-cylinder 1.6L and the 2010-2011 Kia Rio5 4-cylinder 1.6L, with one solenoid needed per car.
