- Extensive design process and 100% end-of-line testing
- Electromagnetic activation on a 12 V circuit
- Rectangular female connector with two male blade terminals
- Housing made of metal and plastic
Quick facts
- Part: Standard Ignition VVT251 variable timing solenoid
- Also called: engine variable timing solenoid
- Fits: 2009-2010 Jaguar XF V8 4.2L, 2010 XF V8 5.0L and other vehicles
- Material: Metal, Plastic (housing)
- Condition: New
A check engine light, reduced power or a rough idle can mean a solenoid is failing, but other faults produce the same signs. Before replacing it, look over the connector with the engine off and cool for cracks, bent terminals or oil seepage, and leave electrical tests to a shop.
Fits
The solenoid is a direct-fit OE replacement for a wide range of Jaguar models, including the 2002-2003 Jaguar Vanden Plas V8 4.0L and the 2004-2009 Vanden Plas V8 4.2L, and the 2002-2003 Jaguar XJ8 V8 4.0L and the 2004-2009 XJ8 V8 4.2L. The 2009-2010 Jaguar XF V8 4.2L takes two. Open the "Vehicles it fits" section to check your car's exact model and engine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Standard Ignition VVT251 fit the 2009-2010 Jaguar XF V8 4.2L?
Yes, Standard Ignition VVT251 is listed for the 2009-2010 Jaguar XF V8 4.2L and the 2010 XF V8 5.0L, and each takes two. Open the "Vehicles it fits" section to check another Jaguar's model and engine.
Are gaskets or mounting hardware included with this engine variable timing solenoid?
No. Standard Ignition VVT251 is the solenoid alone, with gaskets and mounting hardware not included, so plan on new fasteners.
What connector does the VVT251 solenoid use?
This solenoid has one rectangular female plug connector with two male blade terminals, and it uses 12 V with electromagnetic activation.
Which symptoms can a worn VVT251 solenoid cause?
Poorer fuel economy, hesitation when accelerating or a check engine light can go with a worn solenoid. Testing its circuit is a job for a shop.
How big is the shaft on the VVT251 variable timing solenoid?
The shaft diameter is 18 mm (0.7 in). The solenoid measures 28 mm long, 28 mm wide and 102.4 mm tall.
