NTK VV0131 VVT solenoid for the 2013-2016 Mazda CX-5 4-cylinder 2.0L, the 2015-2024 CX-5 4-cylinder 2.5L and other vehicles is an electrically operated valve that directs engine oil to shift camshaft timing. This NTK VVT solenoid, also called a variable valve timing solenoid, is made for the exhaust position.
- Meets the demands of VVT engines at both low and high RPM
- Hard-coat anodized spool valve to prevent corrosion and increase service life
- Precision-wound, coated-copper windings to increase solenoid longevity
- High-strength thermoplastic that resists temperature, moisture and chemicals
- Fluorocarbon O-rings to help prevent oil leakage
- 100% tested and inspected, with end-of-production testing in oil so the valve is primed
