Gates VVS305 VVT solenoid for the 2006-2008 Honda Fit 4-cylinder 1.5L controls the oil flow that sets the engine's valve timing. Also called a variable valve timing solenoid, it is designed to OE specifications in fit, form and performance.
- Continuously controls oil flow for precise valve timing
- Electromagnetic activation on a 12 V circuit
- Steel housing, 98 mm long and 26.2 mm wide
- Temperature sender built into the solenoid
- Two male pin terminals
Quick facts
- Part: Gates VVS305 VVT solenoid
- Also called: variable valve timing solenoid
- Fits: 2006-2008 Honda Fit 4-cylinder 1.5L
- Position: spool valve
- Material: Steel housing
- Condition: New
A worn solenoid can show up as a rough idle, lower fuel economy or a check engine light. Before you replace it, look over the connector and wiring with the engine off for damage or oil inside the connector, and read the oil level on the dipstick, since other faults can look much the same.
Fits
This solenoid is a direct replacement for the 2006-2008 Honda Fit 4-cylinder 1.5L.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Gates VVS305 the right VVT solenoid for the 2006-2008 Honda Fit 4-cylinder 1.5L?
Yes. Gates VVS305 is a direct replacement for the 2006-2008 Honda Fit 4-cylinder 1.5L, and that engine takes one solenoid.
Does this VVT solenoid come with a gasket or mounting bolts?
The Gates VVS305 comes with a gasket and has a temperature sender built in. Mounting hardware is not included, so plan on new fasteners.
What voltage and housing material does this VVT solenoid have?
This solenoid has a steel housing and electromagnetic activation, and it runs on 12 V. It connects through two male pin terminals.
Could a rough idle mean this VVT solenoid is failing?
It can, but a rough idle, lower fuel economy or a check engine light can also come from other faults. Testing the solenoid and its circuit needs the engine running, so a shop can do that.
Is Gates VVS305 the same part as number 918-172?
Yes. 918-172 is on the interchange list for the Gates VVS305, so it is a number this solenoid replaces.
