- Electromagnetic activation on a 12 V circuit
- Steel housing, 123 mm long and 28.5 mm wide
- Seal included with the solenoid
- One female connector with two male blade terminals
Quick facts
- Part: Gates VVS164 VVT solenoid
- Also called: variable valve timing solenoid
- Fits: 2006-2010 Subaru Forester H4 2.5L and other vehicles
- Position: Intake

A rough idle or a check engine light can go with a failing VVT solenoid. These signs alone do not prove the solenoid is the problem, since dirty engine oil is another common cause. If the solenoid is the cause, this one replaces it. This listing is one solenoid, and the 2007-2009 Subaru Outback H4 2.5L takes two.
Fits
It is a direct-fit replacement, listed for a wide range of Subaru models, such as the 2007-2009 Subaru Outback H4 2.5L, and as a Subaru Impreza VVT solenoid for the 2006-2010 model with the H4 2.5L. Open the "Vehicles it fits" section to check your exact model and engine.
