Description

Manage the oil flow that drives your BMW V8's variable valve timing with the Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid, part number VVS234. Commonly referred to as an Oil Control Valve, this electric, 12-volt solenoid mounts at the engine eccentric shaft actuator and continuously controls oil flow for precise timing. Designed to OE specifications in fit, form and function, it drops in as a direct replacement for many BMW V8 applications, among them the 2004-2010 BMW X5 [V8-4.4L / V8-4.8L] and the 2006-2010 BMW 550i [V8-4.8L] — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

Continuous oil control: regulates oil flow to the variable valve timing system for precise timing.
Steel housing: built from high-quality materials for durability.
Electric, 12-volt operation: one female connector with two male blade terminals.
Includes: actuator motor and O-ring seal; mounting hardware is not included.

The listed BMW applications use two solenoids per engine; this listing is for one. If a faulty solenoid is confirmed as the cause of rough idle, reduced performance, or a camshaft-timing fault code, VVS234 replaces it. Country of origin: China.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as an Oil Control Valve?

Yes. Gates variable valve timing solenoids are commonly called Oil Control Valves; this VVS234 continuously controls oil flow to the eccentric shaft actuator for precise valve timing.

Where does the VVS234 mount?

It installs at the engine eccentric shaft actuator on the listed BMW V8 engines, where it regulates oil flow to the variable valve timing system.

How many does my BMW need?

The listed applications use two per engine. This listing is for one solenoid.

What's included with this solenoid?

Each unit includes the actuator motor and an O-ring seal. Mounting hardware is not included — consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners.

What are signs the VVT solenoid may need replacing?

Signs can include a camshaft-timing fault code, rough idle, or reduced performance. Diagnose the cause first; if a faulty solenoid is confirmed, VVS234 replaces it.
